Why is it Because fermentation takes place in the absence of oxygen it is said to be?

It is said to be anaerobic, which means "without oxygen".
The opposite of "anaerobic" is "aerobic" which means requiring oxygen.

Is oxygen a common product to reactions in cellular respiration and fermentation?
No, it is required only in cellular respiration. Fermentation takes place in the absence of oxygen.
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.
What is missing that makes fermentation anaerobic?
For fermentation to take place, oxygen needs to be completely absent. The word anaerobic means without oxygen. So the missing thing that makes fermentation anaerobic is oxygen.
Anaerobic process takes place in the absence of what?
oxygen
What is anaerobic and anaerobic respiration?
Aerobic cellular respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen and anaerobic cellular respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen. Without the presence of oxygen, cellular respiration cannot go past Glycolysis (the first step of cellular respiration) and will be forced to find an alternative route which is, fermentation. Hope this helped.
Is oxygen a common product to reactions in cellular respiration and fermentation?
No, it is required only in cellular respiration. Fermentation takes place in the absence of oxygen.
When do cells use fermentation?
fermentation occurs in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic respiration). in muscle cells, when the blood supply is inadequate, anaerobic respiration takes place and the glucose is converted into lactic acid in the absence of oxygen :)
How lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation similar?
Both of the reactions are under anaerobic conditions (the absence of oxygen is required in both cases). In the presence of oxygen, glycolysis takes place.
Fermentation occurs in the absence of oxygen so what is it termed?
Any respiratory reaction that takes place in the absence of oxygen is considered an anaerobic respiratory reaction. I would have to guess that that is the answer you are looking for.
What determines if cellular respiration or fermentation will take place?
The Oxygen molecule determines if the Pyruvic acid enters Krebs cycle or undergoes fermentation. If Oxygen is present, it enters the Krebs cycle, whereas in its absence, it undergoes fermentation.
How do cells determine if they use cellular respiration or fermentation?
At the completion of the glycolic process, pyruvic acid is produced. Some of the pyruvic acid ends up in the cell mitochondria where cellular respiration takes place. In the absence of oxygen, the pyruvic acid goes through a process of fermentation, which takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell.
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.
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).
Latic acid fermentation is useful in living creatures because?
Lactic acid fermentation is basically anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration is respiration which takes place in the absence of oxygen. Thus, it is a way of life in anaerobic organisms. Even in aerobic organisms, anaerobic respiration takes place when the concentration of oxygen is low. Thus it also helps anaerobic organisms to survive.
How do body cells survive if no respiration takes place?
In the absence of respiration cells wiil survive because of fermentation and they will get energy from it.
Does fermentation take place with oxygen?
Yes
Two different types of fermentation?
Fermentation is sometimes known as anaerobic respiration - because it usually occurs in the absence of oxygen. However, fermentation is the extraction of energy by oxidation of organic compounds. It does not necessarily have to occur in anaerobic conditions.
