Why are fermentation pathway referred to as anaerobic pathways?

Fermentation is carried out, most commonly by single celled organisms to generate energy from the breakdown of organic molecules. It is an anaerobic metabolic process because it cannot take place in the presence of oxygen. This would require an aerobic metabolic process that utilizes oxygen.

Because fermentation takes place when the process of fermentation is without oxygen. I understand Fermentation and I also understand what Anaerobic means. I'm not sure about "Pathways" in this question. Sorry.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoBecause fermentation does not require oxygen
l its not because it is
because they dont need oxygen to further break down

What pathway might a cell follow during glycolisys?
The two pathways that follow glycolysis are aerobic and anaerobic.
What pathways does the body use to release energy during exercise?
Aerobic Metabolism is the pathway used for exercise
Where does the anaerobic pathway occur?
cytoplasm
What are conductive pathways?
It's a pathway that conducts electricity
Catabolic pathways of Alcaligenes?
catabolic pathway of Alcaligenes
Is a biochemical pathway of cellular respiration that is anaerobic?
Fermentation
Is fermentation a form of respiration or photosynthesis?
No; fermentation is an alternative metabolic pathway to respiration, not photosynthesis. Both processes (photosynthesis and respiration) have alternative pathways depending on conditions.
What pathway might a cell follow during glycolisys?
The two pathways that follow glycolysis are aerobic and anaerobic.
What pathway is used to make energy when no oxygen is present?
Fermentation other wise known as anaerobic.
1 The anaerobic pathway that follows glycolysis in the absence of oxygen is fermentation -- True or false?
true
The first forms of life that produced ATP probably used pathways similar to what?
ATP/CP Pathway, Glycolytic Pathway, Oxidative Pathway
What are the two main types of anaerobic respiration?
Anaerobic respiration is the production of energy without the presence of oxygen and it occurs in some yeast and bacteria, and in muscle tissue during strenuous exercise when there is insufficient oxygen. Fermentation is a type of anaerobic pathway used by certain species of bacteria that live in anaerobic environments such as stagnant ponds or decaying vegetation. Other types of anaerobic pathways are carried out by certain species of archaebacteria that live in extreme environments, such as hypothermal vents, springs of hot water in the deep ocean.
What pathways does the body use to release energy during exercise?
Aerobic Metabolism is the pathway used for exercise
What is a biochemical pathway of cellular respiration that is anaerobic?
The anaerobic pathway cellular respiration is known as glycolysis. In glycolysis, glucose molecules are broken down into two pyruvate molecules.Glycolysis is the only stage of cellular respiration which can occur without oxygen. The theoretical yield of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is 2 molecules for this first stage.
What is the main purpose of fermentation reactions?
Fermentation is a pathway used under anaerobic conditions. It is needed to produce ATP when there is no oxygen present.
Which pathways rely on the presence of oxygen?
Aerobic respiration is that main metabolic pathway when oxygen is present. This is how organisms break down glucose to produce ATP.
What process produces more energy-the anaerobic pathway or the aerobic pathway?
I think the aerobic pathway produces more energy because it has a longer process than the anaerobic pathway.
