Lactate fermentation is a reversible process where pyruvate accepts hydrogen from NADH, while alcoholic fermentation is irreversible, converting pyruvate to ethanal.
Lactate fermentation is reversible, where pyruvate accepts hydrogen from reduced NAD. Alcoholic fermentation is irreversible, involving pyruvate conversion to ethanal.
