Cellular Respiration Quiz for Pre-K Students

Fermentation Process

• The final product of the fermentation process is ethanol and carbon dioxide.

Initial Stage of Fermentation

• The first stage of fermentation is the breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose.

Carbohydrates

• Carbohydrates are best conceived as a source of energy for the body.
• The empirical formula for carbohydrates is CH₂O.
• Carbohydrates can be categorized into two groups: simple (sugars) and complex (starches and fibers).
• Complex carbohydrates can be hydrolyzed to simpler compounds.

Glucose

• Glucose is a type of simple carbohydrate, classified as a monosaccharide.
• Glucose is synthesized in plants through the process of photosynthesis.

Anaerobic Respiration

• One of the stages of fermentation, anaerobic respiration, does not use oxygen.

Initiation of Fermentation

• The compound that initiates the fermentation process is zymase, an enzyme present in yeast.
