How does sugar concentration affect the fermentation of ethanol?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
Using wine to illustrate, the amount of sugar available to the yeast determines how much ethanol will be produced - up to 'a point', say a 13% ethanol solution: a concentration higher than this cannot be obtained [without distillation technology] because Yeast cannot tolerate it.

Define and explain sugar fermentation?
Define and explain sugar fermentation.
What is the formula for alcoholic fermentation?
Fermentation formulaChemical equationC6H12O6 + 2ATP + 2ADP + 4NADH ------> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 +4ATP + 2H2O + 4NAD+Word equationGlucose + Inorganic phosphate + Adenosine Tri-phosphate + Adenosine di-phosphate + (Reduced) nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ---------> Ethanol + Carbon dioxide + Adenosine tri- phosphate + water + Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotideThis equation is not comprehensive and the actual process of fermentation incorporates 12 individual enzyme controlled reactions.Further reading:Glycolysis; anaerobic respiration
Which organ monitors blood sugar concentration?
The pancreas administers and monitors blood sugar concentration.
What is The breakdown of carbohydrates in the absence of oxygen?
In the absence of oxygen, the cell uses a process called fermentation. Fermentation doesn't break the sugar down any further, it simply helps reset the system so that more sugar can be broken down.Because aerobic respiration breaks the sugar all the way down, it releases much more energy than fermentation.
Fermentation causes cells to break down sugar into carbon dioxide and?
sodium brogan
What is the reaction from sugar to ethanol called?
Fermentation.
The alcohol produced in fermentation by yeast is ethyl alcohol?
Ethanol is made by the fermentation of sugar using yeast.
How ethanol is manufactured from sugarcane?
Extract the sugar and feed it to yeast (in a fermentation vat).
Which process is taking place if an organism produces alcohol from a sugar solution?
The process is ethanol fermentation or alcoholic fermentation. You will get H20, CO2 and alcohol.
Which process is taking place if an organism produces alcohol from sugar solution?
The process is ethanol fermentation or alcoholic fermentation. You will get H20, CO2 and alcohol.
What is the difference between fermentation and hydration?
Fermentation is the process of making alcohol (ethanol) by mixing sugar and yeast in a barell: sugar + yeast ----> ethanol + carbon dioxide Hydration is another process of making alcohol (ethanol) by heating water and ethene at a temperature of around 300 degrees celcius under high pressure: ethene + steam -----> ethanol One big difference between fermentation and hydration is that fermentation pproduces the bi-product cabon dioxide whereas hydration doesn't. Another difference coulkd be that the reaction of hydration happens a lot faster than that of fermentation.
What is produced during alcohol fermentation?
Ethanol and carbon dioxide are produced during alcoholic fermentation. C6H12O6 ---> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 Glucose breaks down in the presence of enzymes to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide. C2H5OH is the chemical formula for ethanol.
Does the amount of sugar affect fermentation?
Yes, because the yeast feeds on sugar. Fermentation cannot continue if there is not sugar as the yeast will not be able to convert it to alcohol and carbon dioxide.
Does fermentation produces carbon dioxide?
The chemical formula for anaerobic fermentation to produce ethanol from sugar is:C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2The process creates 2 moles of carbon dioxide for each mole of sugar used.
What are the factors that affect fermentation rate?
age, temperture, ph, substrate, concentration
How do you make ethanol gas?
Ethanol can be produced by:Anaerobic fermentation of natural sugar (beets, cane, starch) done by yeastPetrochemically by acid catalized reaction of ethene with water
Will letting water-sugar-yeast mixture ferment for long time affect the quantity of ethanol produced?
Letting a water, sugar, and yeast mixture ferment for a long time does not affect the quantity of ethanol produced.
