Yes, fermentation occurs in the cell when oxygen is not present. Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration is described as C6H12O6 (Glucose) + 6O2 (oxygen) => 6CO2 (carbon dioxide) +6H2O (Water) + ATP (energy). When the body runs out of oxygen from exercise the glucose molecule turns into lactic sugars or lactic acids that are stored until the body has more oxygen this is fermentation.

Why would you not expect to find mitochondria in anaerobic organisms?

Mitochondria are organelles responsible for aerobic respiration, which requires oxygen. Anaerobic organisms do not rely on oxygen for their energy production, instead they use fermentation or anaerobic respiration. Therefore, they would not have mitochondria.


When does lactid acid and fermentation occur?

Lactic acid and fermentation occur during anaerobic metabolism.


Can fermentation and the Krebs cycle occur at the same time why?

Fermentation and the Krebs cycle typically do not occur at the same time in cells. Fermentation is an anaerobic process that occurs in the absence of oxygen and produces lactic acid or ethanol as byproducts. The Krebs cycle, on the other hand, is an aerobic process that requires oxygen and takes place in the mitochondria to produce energy in the form of ATP.


How do bacteria generate energy without the presence of mitochondria?

Bacteria generate energy through a process called fermentation, which does not require mitochondria. In fermentation, bacteria break down sugars to produce energy in the form of ATP.
