Does alcoholic fermentation need oxygen?

No, alcoholic fermentation does not require oxygen. This process is anaerobic, meaning it occurs in the absence of oxygen. Yeast cells convert sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide without the need for oxygen.


Is fermentation Aerobic or Anaerobic?

Anaerobic means "without air (oxygen)". Fermentation allows some cells to make ATP without having oxygen present. Fermentation is not nearly as efficient as aerobic respiration, since it produces a net yield of only 2 ATP per glucose molecule (aerobic respiration produces 36-38 ATP per glucose).


What type of cell respiration occurs when an organic molecule accepts hydrogen atoms?

Anaerobic respiration occurs when an organic molecule accepts hydrogen atoms in the absence of oxygen. This process typically involves glycolysis followed by fermentation to produce ATP in the absence of oxygen.


The difference between cellular respiration and fermintation?

Cellular respiration is a process that occurs in the presence of oxygen and results in the production of ATP (energy) from glucose. Fermentation, on the other hand, occurs in the absence of oxygen and results in the production of ATP without the need for oxygen, but at a lower efficiency compared to cellular respiration. Fermentation also produces byproducts such as alcohol or lactic acid.


Which type of fermentation does not give off carbon dioxide?

This is a tricky question, because typically, in biology, fermentation refers to a metabolic process that occurs anaerobically (without oxygen). However, my hobby is homebrewing beer, so I'm going to take a whack at it. It's important to start fermentation (yeast-based) with high levels of oxygen, because the goal initially during primary fermentation is to convert the sugars in the "wort" (grain-soup) to alcohol. During the conditioning stage, the yeast is used to convert more sugar (added later) to carbon dioxide, and this is done in the bottle with a cap. So, my answer is that aerobic fermentation results in the production of LESS carbon dioxide, although there still is SOME. Anaerobic fermentation results in production of gas (CO2, CH4, etc, depending on the fermenting organism and the environment).

When fermentation occurs what substances are available?

Oxygen


Fermentation occurs in the absence of?

Basically Fermentation is an Anaerobic respiration (i.e. Oxidation of energy compounds in the absence of oxygen).That means the answer to your question is 'oxygen'.


Fermentation is a process that occurs in cells and organisms that lack?

oxygen


In what kind of environment would you expect to find organisms that carry out fermentation?

in an environment where there is little or no oxygen. aerobic respiration requires oxygen ad when it is not present fermentaion (anaerobic respiration) occurs because it works when oxygen isn't there


Fermentation may occur in a muscle under what type of condition?

Fermentation occurs in muscles after strenuous exercise and physical activity. Lactic acid fermentation occurs when muscles are in need of oxygen.


Fermentation occurs when a cell does not get enough what?

Fermentation occurs when a cell does not get enough oxygen to carry out aerobic respiration. Instead, the cell uses anaerobic pathways to produce energy in the form of ATP.


Fermentation occurs when a cell can't get?

When a cell can't get oxygen to produce energy through aerobic respiration, it undergoes fermentation as an alternative process to generate ATP. This typically occurs in anaerobic conditions.


Lactic acid fermentation occurs in muscle cells when what is low in supply?

oxygen


Does alcoholic fermentation need oxygen?

No, alcoholic fermentation does not require oxygen. This process is anaerobic, meaning it occurs in the absence of oxygen. Yeast cells convert sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide without the need for oxygen.


What kind of environment would you find organisms that Cary out fermentation?

Where there is little or no oxygen


Where does fermentation happen in the cell?

Fermentation primarily occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is a metabolic process that allows cells to generate energy in the absence of oxygen by converting sugars into other compounds like alcohol or lactic acid.
