Fermentation is a metabolic process in which an organism converts a carbohydrate, such as starch or a sugar, into an alcohol or an acid. This the way that beer is produced. In muscles, the body can't supply enough glucose to very active muscle cells and they will use this process. The product in this case is lactic acid. You may have heard the term 'burn' when this happens. The muscles actually become very sore.

How the body natural produce alcohol?

The body can naturally produce alcohol through a process called fermentation, primarily occurring in the gut. Certain bacteria in the intestines can convert carbohydrates into ethanol, a type of alcohol, during digestion. This process can lead to small amounts of alcohol entering the bloodstream, but typically, the levels are quite low and not enough to cause intoxication. Additionally, the liver metabolizes alcohol to prevent its accumulation in the body.


Which best explains how the human body obtains energy from food?

Typically glycolysis. Glycolysis is a process by which sugars (specifically glucose) is broken down into ATP (energy). There are, however, many pathways to derive energy from differently moleculs (including lipids and carbohydrates).
