Many types of organisms can use fermentation to obtain energy, including bacteria, yeast, and some fungi. Fermentation is a metabolic process that allows these organisms to produce energy without using oxygen.
Decomposer
The amount of glucose used in fermentation varies depending on the type of fermentation and the organism involved. In general, yeast can ferment approximately one mole of glucose (about 180 grams) to produce around 2 moles of ethanol and 2 moles of carbon dioxide, yielding energy in the process. Other factors, such as the fermentation conditions and substrates, can influence the specific amount of glucose consumed. Overall, glucose serves as a primary energy source for fermentation processes.
Fermentation is a metabolic process that produces energy for cells in the absence of oxygen. Products of fermentation vary depending on the specific type of fermentation, but common examples include ethanol, carbon dioxide, lactic acid, and various organic acids.
Organisms obtain energy through various methods depending on their type. Autotrophs, like plants, convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, while some bacteria utilize chemosynthesis. Heterotrophs, including animals and fungi, obtain energy by consuming other organisms, breaking down complex organic materials into simpler forms through digestion. This process releases energy stored in the chemical bonds of food, allowing organisms to grow and sustain their metabolic functions.
Yes. The onion is a plant, meaning it can do photosynthesis. Autotrophs (spellcheck) are a type of organism that makes its own food. Photosynthesis is one of the best examples of an organism making its own food.
Yeasts.
Decomposer
Lactic acid fermentation. This type of fermentation occurs when your muscles need more oxygen for energy, so fermentation gives your muscles a little extra energy.
Heterotrophs obtain energy from the food they eat. They are unable to produce their own food through photosynthesis and rely on consuming other organisms or organic matter to obtain energy.

True. Yeast is a type of single-celled organism, specifically a type of fungus, that is commonly used in baking and fermentation processes.
When the oxygen supply runs short in heavy or prelonged excercise, muscles obtain most of their energy from an anaerobic (without oxygen) process called glycolysis. Yeast cells obtain energy under anaerobic conditions using a very similar process called Alcoholic Fermentation. Glycolysis is the chemical breakdown of glucose to lactic acid. This process makes energy available for cell activity in the form of a high-energy phosphate compound known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Alcoholic fermentation is identical to glycolysis except for the final step (Fig. 1). In alcoholic fermentation, pyruvic acid is broken down into ethanol and carbon dioxide. Lactic acid from glycolysis produces a feeling of tiredness; the products of alcoholic fermentation have been used in baking and brewing for centuries.
Yeast is a living organism and not a compound. It is a type of fungi that is used in baking and brewing to facilitate fermentation.
