Fermentation is the breakdown of carbohydrates by enzyme action under anaerobic conditions. This is important to provide energy when insufficient oxygen is present.

Where is the process of fermentation occurring in eukaryote cells?

Fermentation in eukaryotic cells primarily occurs in the cytoplasm. This process involves the breakdown of glucose to produce energy in the absence of oxygen. The end products of fermentation vary depending on the type of fermentation, such as lactic acid fermentation or alcoholic fermentation.


Yeast cells produce alcohol and carbon dioxide in the process of what?

Fermentation.


What is the process in which cells obtaining energy without using oxygen?

Fermentation


What are cells that perform fermation and make alcohol are?

Cells that perform fermentation and produce alcohol are typically yeast cells. Yeast cells break down sugars through the process of fermentation, producing alcohol as a byproduct. This process is commonly used in brewing and baking.


What is the importance of Optical density of micro organisms during the inoculum devolopement and fermentation process?

Optical density (OD) measurements are very important in fermentation processes as it is an indirect method of calculating the number of cells. It is very important to get high amount of your products from the fermentation processes and this can be achieved only through cell numbers. Calculation of the number of cells by other means such as the dry cell weight etc is a tedious task. Because of the simplicity in the process the OD is generally measured by this process


What is a product of cellular respiration and nor fermentation?

Cell Respiration: Fermentation. All cells are able to synthesize ATP via the process of glycolysis. In many cells, if oxygen is not present, pyruvate is metabolized in a process called fermentation. Fermentation complements glycolysis and makes it possible for ATP to be continually produced in the absence of oxygen.


Which process takes place cells when they do not get enough oxygen?

Lactic acid fermentation


If oxygen is not needed in a cell process the process is .?

A+ students - anaerobic The process in which cells don't use oxygen is called Fermentation. Fermentation and lactic acid fermentation are different, lactic acid fermentation uses the oxygen faster than you can breathe so you feel muscle pains.


Lactic acid fermentation is what type of process?

Lactic acid fermentation is an anaerobic process. This means that lactic acid is produced in the absence of oxygen. This usually occur in bacteria cells but can also occur in muscle cells.


Where does lactic acid fermentation occur in the process of cellular respiration?

Lactic acid fermentation occurs in the absence of oxygen during the process of cellular respiration, specifically in the cytoplasm of cells.


What is the process by which cells break down sugar molecules and releases energy?

I believe that is fermentation.
