What is the difference of fermentation and decomposition?
Decomposition uses cellular respiration to break down dead plant matter--this means that oxygen is involved in the process. Fermentation is another word for anaerobic decomposition, which occurs without oxygen.
What happen when no oxygen is present for respiration?
Fermentation
Is fermentation Aerobic or Anaerobic?
Anaerobic means "without air (oxygen)". Fermentation allows some cells to make ATP without having oxygen present. Fermentation is not nearly as efficient as aerobic respiration, since it produces a net yield of only 2 ATP per glucose molecule (aerobic respiration produces 36-38 ATP per glucose).
Problems with oxygen getting into fermentation?
Fermentation is an anaerobic response for yeast. Yeast will respire aerobically in the presence of oxygen and will not produce alcohol.
What is fermentation and under what conditions does it occur?
Fermentation can occur anywhere given that three conditions are met. #1...yeast must be present. #2.... Sugars are food for the yeast to live on and therefore must be present. #3.... The right conditions by which the yeast is confortable, like the right temperatures.....there you have it.
What is missing when fermentation occurs?
oxygen.
When fermentation occurs what substances are available?
Oxygen
Fermentation occurs when a cell does not get enough what?
oxygen
In what kind of environment would you expect to find organisms that carry out fermentation?
in an environment where there is little or no oxygen. aerobic respiration requires oxygen ad when it is not present fermentaion (anaerobic respiration) occurs because it works when oxygen isn't there
Where does fermentation happen in the cell?
Fermentation occurs in the Cytosol (cytoplasm), without oxygen.
Fermentation occurs when a cell can't get?
oxygen needed for cellular respiration
Fermentation occurs in the absence of?
Basically Fermentation is an Anaerobic respiration (i.e. Oxidation of energy compounds in the absence of oxygen).That means the answer to your question is 'oxygen'.
Fermentation is a process that occurs in cells and organisms that lack?
oxygen
Fermentation may occur in a muscle under what type of condition?
If oxygen is not available in the body especially muscle it leads to fermentation in an anaerobic respiration.
Difference between oxidation and fermentation?
Oxidization occurs when oxygen is present and two or more substances interact, and one losses an electron. In anaerobic situations (when oxygen is not present) fermentation occurs. Fermentation derives energy (ATP) from compounds that are being oxidized.
Lactic acid fermentation occurs in muscle cells when what is low in supply?
oxygen
What kind of environment would you find organisms that Cary out fermentation?
Where there is little or no oxygen
