You have opened a bakery selling bread.
Unfortunately most people find the bread too
heavy. Using what you know about chemical
reactions (Ch 2).
1 Make a list of factors that might affect the enzyme
catalyzed fermentation process.
2 Predict how each factor will affect the rate of
fermentation.
3 Propose a solution to making the break light by
adding more bubbles to your bread recipe.
CH 9 CELLULAR RESPIRATION AND
FERMENTATION
9.3 Fermentation
Fermentation

Process of releasing energy from food in the
absence of oxygen.
Fermentation


NADH is converted back to NAD+
Allows glycolysis to continue producing ATP.
Alcoholic Fermentation



Pyruvic acid + NADH  Alcohol + CO2 + NAD+
Yeast and other microorganisms
Produces alcoholic beverages and causes bread
dough to rise.
Lactic Acid Fermentation


Pyruvic acid + NADH  Lactic acid + NAD+
Humans and most organisms.
Quick Energy



Cells have enough ATP for a few seconds of intense
activity
Lactic acid fermentation can supply enough ATP to
last about 90 seconds
Extra oxygen is required to get rid of the lactic acid
produced.
Long-Term Energy



Cellular respiration is required to continue
production of ATP for exercise longer than 90
seconds
Body uses glycogen stores for the first 15-20
minutes
Body then will break down other stored molecules,
including fats.

Label two teat tube A and B. Put 10 mL of water
and a few drops of bromthymol blue solution in
each test tube. CO2 will turn it yellow or green.
Your partner will time you. When your partner
says go, slowly blow air through the straw into
the bottom of test tube A.
When the solution changes color, your partner
will say stop and then record how long the color
change took.

Jog in place for 2 minutes. Caution do not do this
if you have a medical condition that would
interfere.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 using test tube B
Trade Roles with your partner and repeat steps
1-5.

Analyze Data how did exercise affect the time it
took the solution to change color?
Infer What process in your body produces carbon
dioxide? How does exercise affect this process?
