Fermentation is the anaerobic (without oxygen) respiration of sugar by yeast. This correctly indicates that oxygen is not used in the process, but its incorrect to say the absense of oxygen is required. Brewers yeast will ferment anaerobically in the presence of glucose at concentrations of > 1g/l. Brewers yeast has a high alcohol tolerance and produces alcohol as an inhibitor to competitive organisms. Once all the glucose is consumed brewers yeast will consume the alcohol. This phenomenom is known as the Crabtree Effect

What raw material is not needed for fermentation to happen?

If oxygen is not needed in a cell process the process is .?

A+ students - anaerobic The process in which cells don't use oxygen is called Fermentation. Fermentation and lactic acid fermentation are different, lactic acid fermentation uses the oxygen faster than you can breathe so you feel muscle pains.


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.


How does human cells use fermentation?

Fermentation is simply anaerobic cellular respiration where an organic compound is used as an electron acceptor instead of using oxygen. Consequently, lots of types of cells can utilize fermentation. There are examples of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes that are capable of anaerobic respiration. The most common example of fermentation is in the yeast cell, which produces the alcohol found in beer. Another example is the human muscle cell, which produces lactic acid through fermentation when there is not enough oxygen present to continue cellular respiration (such as after a long jog).


What substance is needed for fermentation to work?

Fermentation requires a sugar source, such as glucose or fructose, as the primary substrate for the process. Yeast or bacteria then convert these sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide (in alcoholic fermentation) or acids (in lactic acid fermentation). Additionally, the absence of oxygen is crucial for fermentation to occur, as it is an anaerobic process.

What reactant needed for cellular respiration is absent from the fermentation reaction?

Oxygen is the reactant needed for cellular respiration that is absent from the fermentation reaction. In the absence of oxygen, some organisms, like yeast, undergo fermentation to produce energy in the form of ATP.


What molecule is needed for aerobic respiration but not for fermentation?

Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration but not for fermentation. Aerobic respiration utilizes oxygen as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain to produce ATP, while fermentation produces ATP without using oxygen by fermenting sugars into organic molecules like ethanol or lactic acid.
