What causes fermentation?
Fermentation occurs when living cells present on the skin of fruit and vegetables break down the sugars inside. Microorganisms called yeasts do this job in the main. They grow under varied conditions and produce different end products, the main by products being alcohol and carbon dioxide.When wet, yeast feeds on sugar, creating carbon dioxide bubbles, which causes bread to rise, or ferment.
If you could break up a carbon dioxide molecule would you still have carbon dioxide?
Although the molecule is broken up it does not change the fact that it is carbon dioxide. Therefore you still have carbon dioxide.
What does oxygen break glucose down to during respiration?
carbon dioxide and water
What are the products of alcholic fermentation?
Alcohol fermentation is done by yeast and some kinds of bacteria. These microorganisms convert sugars in ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide. Alcoholic fermentation begins after glucose enters the cell. The glucose is broken down into pyruvic acid. This pyruvic acid is then converted to CO2, ethanol, and energy for the cell. Humans have long taken advantage of this process in making bread, beer, and wine. In these three product the same microorganism is used: the common yeast or Saccharomyces Cerevisae.
What is fermentation in cellular respiration?
Fermentation is used in anaerobic respiration. Fermentation is done to replenish NAD supplies so that glycolysis can continue making ATP in the absence of oxygen.
In fermentation what do cells use instead of oxygen to break down glucose?
carbon dioxide
When yeast break down sugar and produce carbon dioxide and alcohol what is it called?
fermentation.
What fermentation is the process is when yeast breaks down sugars and produces carbon dioxide and alcohol?
i don't know if i knew i wouldn't come to this website
The break down of sugar and starch to carbon dioxide and alcohol without using oxygen is?
It is called fermentation.
What is alcoholic fermentation?
the anaerobic process by which yeasts and other microorganisms break down sugars to form carbon dioxide and ethanol
What is a benefit to some bacteria that use alcoholic fermentation?
The benefit to using some bacteria for alcohol fermentation is that the bacteria will convert the sugars in the alcohol and carbon dioxide. The sugar will break down to form pyruvic acid and then into ethanol. Without the bacteria, the sugars or glucose would not break down properly, and the fermentation will not work.

Why do organism undergo fermentation?
The air around you - anywhere on earth - has lots of floating wild yeasts in it. A big jar of fruit juice left to the open air for a few days will start to ferment. Fermentation is the process where yeasts eat sugars, and, as waste product, create carbon dioxide - and alcohol. That is fermentation.
If you could break up carbon dioxide molecule would you still have carbon dioxide?
Yes, because even though to molecule is broken up it is sill carbon dioxide.
What do yeast glucose and water result in?
The yeast will break down the glucose which produces Carbon dioxide + Ethanol + Energy during anaerobic respiration and the process is also known as 'fermentation'. Carbon dioxide and Ethanol are the waste products. During aerobic respiration, the yeast will produce the same products as we produce such as Carbon dioxide, water and energy.
When decomposers break down the carbon-containing molecules in dead?
carbon dioxide is released
