Fermentation is simply anaerobic cellular respiration where an organic compound is used as an electron acceptor instead of using oxygen. Consequently, lots of types of cells can utilize fermentation. There are examples of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes that are capable of anaerobic respiration.
The most common example of fermentation is in the yeast cell, which produces the alcohol found in beer. Another example is the human muscle cell, which produces lactic acid through fermentation when there is not enough oxygen present to continue cellular respiration (such as after a long jog).

∙ 15y agoSome cells use fermentation because it is the fastest way to break down sugars into energy when no oxygen is present. This is the case for exercising muscle. The body needs energy, and fast, and the quickest way to do this is through fermentation.

What do the cells use for energy when there is no oxygen for the cells?
Cells use anaerobic respiration when there is no oxygen available.
What do human and animal cells obtain through latic-acid fermentation during?
Oxygen.
When there is no oxygen available to human muscle cells the cells can continue to make ATP for a short time using what?
lactic acid fermentation
What product is common to reactions to cellular respiration and fermentation?
Cellular respiration and fermentation both produce ATP - which is a form of energy that cells can use.
In fermentation what do cells use instead of oxygen to break down glucose?
carbon dioxide
Do cells use both respiration and fermentation to release energy?
Yes...Cells do use both Respiration and fermentation to release energy.
What do the cells use for energy when there is no oxygen for the cells?
Cells use anaerobic respiration when there is no oxygen available.
When Cells use oxygen to release energy during?
Cells don't do fermentation, the yeast does. Cells don't do fermentation, the yeast does.
What is the type of fermentation used by human muscles in low oxygen conditions?
Human muscle cells undergo lactic acid fermentation in low oxygen conditions.
Where in the body does alcohol fermentation occur?
Alcoholic Fermentation does not occur in human bodies but rather in plant cells when they do not receive adequate amounts of the necessary amounts of nutrients and minerals. Lactic fermentation however occurs in human cells located in the cytoplasm after glycolysis.
In What path do eukaryotic cells use when there is no oxygen?
fermentation
What do some animal cells use to get energy?
fermentation
What do human and animal cells obtain through latic-acid fermentation during?
Oxygen.
Do your body cells always use cellular respiration and fermentation?
Yes. Cell respiration and lactic acid fermentation.
Human cells that undergo fermentation produce?
they produce lactic acid (2CH3CHOHCOOH), 2ATP, heat.
When there is no oxygen available to human muscle cells the cells can continue to make ATP for a short time using what?
lactic acid fermentation
In fermentation cells release energy without what?
in fermentation, cells release energy without
