Does fermentation occur in mitochondria?

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. Maestro De Science


Do prokaryotic cells have mitochondrions?

No they do not. They are much too small to accompany an organelle such as mitochondria and produce much of its energy through fermentation.


Where does fermentation take place?

Fermentation typically takes place in specialized organelles within cells called mitochondria or in the cytoplasm of the cell. In the absence of oxygen, certain microorganisms and muscle cells can undergo fermentation to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).


DO prokaryotic cells have mitochondria?

No, prokaryotic cells do not have mitochondria. Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells that play a role in energy production through aerobic respiration. Prokaryotic cells generate energy through processes like glycolysis or fermentation.


Does glucose enter cells through cell membrane or mitochondria?

Glucose is diffused through facilitated diffusion in the cell membrane. It is oxidised by glycolysis in the cytoplasm and then the products either go through the mitochondria if oxygen is present or goes through fermentation in the cytosoplasm if no oxygen.

Does fermentation occur in mitochondria of cells?

No, fermentation occurs in the cytoplasm outside the mitochondria.


What organelle does fermentation take place in?

fermentation occurs in the mitochondria actually.


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.


If all the mitochondria were removed from a muscle cell, that cell could no longer carry out?

Fermentation.

How is fermentation's different from cellular respiration?

Without oxygen, pyruvic acids are not metabolized by cellular respiration but undergo fermentation. They are not transported into the mitochondria, but remain in the cytoplasm, where they are converted to waste products that may be removed from the cell.NADH is oxidized by the electron transport chain in respiration only.

what energy-generating process is not in mitochondria?

Perhaps you are referring to glycolysis which produces two net ATP in normal cellular respiration and in 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.
