Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of fermentation: Fermentation is a metabolic process that converts sugar to acids, gases, or alcohol. It occurs in yeast and bacteria, and also in oxygen-starved muscle cells, as in the case of lactic acid fermentation.
Identify common products of fermentation: The most common products of fermentation include ethanol, lactic acid, carbon dioxide, and sometimes other organic acids or alcohols.
Consider the specific types of fermentation: There are different types of fermentation, such as alcoholic fermentation (producing ethanol and carbon dioxide) and lactic acid fermentation (producing lactic acid).
Evaluate the given options: Acetone, ethanol, and lactic acid are all products that can be formed through various fermentation processes. Acetone is produced in some industrial fermentation processes, ethanol is a product of alcoholic fermentation, and lactic acid is a product of lactic acid fermentation.
Determine which option is not typically a fermentation product: Methane is generally not a product of fermentation. It is more commonly associated with anaerobic digestion processes, such as those occurring in the stomachs of ruminants or in anaerobic digesters.
