Lactic Acid & Alcoholic Fermentation: Comparison, Contrast & Examples

About This Quiz & Worksheet

Taking a look at how these two types of anaerobic cellular respiration compare, this quiz and corresponding worksheet will help you gauge your knowledge of lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation. Topics you'll need to know to pass the quiz include understanding what fermentation completes as well as knowing how many molecules of ATP fermentation provides.

Quiz & Worksheet Goals

Use this printable worksheet and quiz to test yourself on the following:

• What fermentation completes
• How many molecules of ATP fermentation yields
• The stage/process which releases carbon dioxide
• Process producing the most ATP
• Why pyruvate must be reduced during fermentation

Skills Practiced

This worksheet and quiz will let you practice the following skills:

• Interpreting information - verify you can read information regarding why pyruvate must be reduced during fermentation and interpret it correctly
• Knowledge application - use your knowledge to answer questions about how many molecules of ATP fermentation yields
• Distinguishing differences - compare and contrast topics from the lesson, such as lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation

Additional Learning
