Information Booster:
• Invented/discovered by Louis Pasteur.
• Used in making beer, wine, bread, and biofuels.
•.It is an exothermic process, releasing energy.
• Different microbes can produce lactic acid (in curd/yogurt) instead of alcohol.
• Industrial fermentation also used in producing antibiotics and organic acids.
Additional Information:
• Respiration – Process in cells to produce energy, can be aerobic or anaerobic.
• Photosynthesis – Conversion of sunlight into glucose by plants; releases oxygen.
• Transpiration – Evaporation of water from plant leaves.
