Best Answer

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.

Animal in the wild cannot produce alcohol by fermentation in their gut as the sugars are converted into volatile fatty acids. Yeast is also needed in the fermentation to produce the alcohol. Humans are the only animal that regularly produce alcohol by fermentation, but its external outside of the body.

Animals cannot produce alcohol by fermentation. However, yeast cells can do this, which is how we get alcoholic drinks such as beer.

it is the breaking down of carbohydrates to form energy, lactic acid, and carbon dioxide.

Nope. Under anaerobic (no oxygen) conditions, we make lactic acid to produce more ATP and convert it to energy. In yeast they make ethanol (alcohol) which is fermentation.

Homolactic fermentation is the type of fermentation that can occur in animals. Fermentation is a type of chemical change or chemical reaction.
