Fermentation is the chemical breakdown of a substance by microorganisms, usually through aeration and the giving off of heat. It is the process involved in making beer, wine and liquors.
The process of fermentation releases carbon dioxide, so we can not stay in fermentation forever.
Fermentation is the process by which microbes transform one substance into another. Fermentation is the process for making both bread and beer.
The anaerobic process
while respiration implies air, fermentation is an anaerobic (no oxygen) process.
describe the process of mincing meat
Fermentation is a energy releasing process that does not requie oxygen A example would be lighting/yeast/bread/etc.
Fermentation
Fermentation is only limited by how much 'food' the microorganism that is driving the fermentation process has. Usually, the microorganism uses sugar, as long as they have a constant supply of food, the fermentation will continue.
Ethanol fermentation, also referred to as alcoholic fermentation, is a biological process in which sugars such as glucose, frutose, and sucrose are converted into cellular energy and thereby produce ethanol and carbin dioxcid(CO2) waste products.
Fermentation can technically be considered an old life process. This is because fermentation takes quite a while to take place.
I assume you meant respiration - in which case : fermentation does not require oxygen.
There is no opposite or reverse reaction, but fermentation is an anaerobic process, one not requiring oxygen. The aerobic equivalent would be respiration (oxidation).
