Fermentation

Question

Fermentation

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fermentation is a process that occurs in the absence of oxygen and does not require the presence of oxygen (O₂) for energy generation. Instead, it relies on glycolysis to produce ATP. While fermentation can occur in some animal cells, it is more commonly associated with microorganisms like bacteria and yeast. Lactic acid is only produced in certain types of fermentation, such as lactic acid fermentation, and is not required for all types of fermentation. Finally, fermentation does not prevent glycolysis but rather relies on its products.
