In older infants or young children (age 3 months to 7 years), the most common microorganisms are S pneumoniae, N meningitidis, and H influenzae. Primary treatment is with either cefotaxime (50 mg/kg IV every 6 hours, up to 12 g/day) or ceftriaxone (75 mg/kg initially, then 50 mg/kg every 12 hours, up to 4 g/day).
1). In alcoholic fermentation, pyruvic acid is broken down into ethanol and carbon dioxide. Lactic acid from glycolysis produces a feeling of tiredness; the products of alcoholic fermentation have been used in baking and brewing for centuries.
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Alcohol and lactic acid fermentation take place in the cytoplasm, the site of glycolysis, the reaction that precedes them. The reactants are the pyruvates left over at the end of glycolysis, the products are ethanol in alcohol fermentation and lactic acid in lactic acid fermentation. These two reaction produce zero ATP--their entire function is to reset the cellular machinery so glycolysis can occur again.
