Fermentation occurs because sugar contains energy. Microorganizism can break down sugars and extract some of the energy using fermentation in the absence of oxygen. Your body can do the same thing.
First a carbon dioxide compound is removed from the sugar leaving a radical. A microorganiizism turns the radical into alcohol. Your body combines the radical with oxygen producing additional energy.
Sometimes something goes very wrong in your body. The radical causes damage until it is stopped by a molecule of unsaturated fat.

What type of fermentation fermentation occurs in yeast?
Alcoholic fermentation is the type of fermentation that occurs in yeast.Anaerobic respiration, namely alcoholic fermentation. This process is very similar to glycolysis, except for the fact that alcoholic fermentation replaces one enzyme with two enzymes that change pyruvic acid into ethanol and carbon dioxide.
Where does alcohol fermentation take place?
Alcoholic fermentation occurs in the cytoplasm of a cell.
