Anaerobiosis is another term for anaerobic respiration. Fermentation is also sometimes used interchangeably with anaerobic respiration.

I agree with the above; however, we recently discussed this and as far as fermentation is concerned, there are many types; the two most common are: lactic acid fermentation and alcohol fermentation. = =

Anaerobic Respiration


Organisms that manufacture organic nutrients for an ecosystem are called?

Producers. These are organisms that can photosynthesize, like plants, algae, and some bacteria, using sunlight to convert inorganic substances into organic nutrients that can be used by other organisms in the ecosystem.


How does archaebacteria reproduce and get nutrients?

Archaebacteria reproduce through a process called binary fission, where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. They obtain nutrients through various methods, including photosynthesis, chemosynthesis, and by breaking down organic matter through fermentation or anaerobic respiration.


Which terms describes the process of breaking down of sugar or other organic compounds in the absence of oxygen which generates ATP and produces organic acids or alcohol?

Anaerobic respiration.The process is also called fermentation, but this term is used in different ways by different people. Anaerobic respiration in plants and yeast, for example, is often called ethanol fermentation, and in animals the equivalent process is lactic acid fermentation.


Does decomposition require oxygen?

No, decomposition can occur in the absence of oxygen through a process called anaerobic decomposition. This process is carried out by anaerobic bacteria and fungi that break down organic matter without the presence of oxygen.

What is the process called when processing organic material into fuel?

The process of converting organic materials into fuel is called biomass conversion. This can involve different methods such as fermentation, pyrolysis, or anaerobic digestion to produce biofuels like biogas, biodiesel, or ethanol.


What is the process of breaking larger molecules into smaller molecules called?

The process of breaking larger molecules into smaller molecules is called catabolism. This process typically involves the release of energy as larger molecules are broken down into smaller units that can be used for cellular activities.
