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.

When does lactic acid fermentation occur in animals?
2+2=4 :))
What are the products of fermentation in plants and animals?
The products of plant fermentation are alcohol fermentation, ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide, or lactic acid fermentation. No further energy is gained for the cell.
What is the end product of fermentation in animals?
It produces Lactic Acids, ethanol, hydrogen gas, Sugar, Carbon Dioxide.
What is anaerobic reaction?
Anaerobic reactions are chemical reactions that occur in the absence of oxygen. This type of metabolism is common in many microorganisms and produces energy through processes such as fermentation or anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic reactions have a lower energy yield compared to aerobic reactions.
What are two animals that have the same type of symmetry as the letter M?
There are many animals that have the same type of symmetry as the letter M. A frog for example has this.
When does lactid acid and fermentation occur?
Lactic acid and fermentation occur during anaerobic metabolism.
What type of fermentation has lactic acid as an end product?
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.
What type of reaction is the fermentation of alcohol?
Chemical reaction.
What type of cellular respiration does not have a Krebs cycle or an electron transport chain?
fermentation
What are the 2 ways that respiration can occur in animals?
Aerobic and anaerobic
Where does Alcoholic Fermentation occur AND what is the equation for it?
Occurs in plants or yeast Sugar (glucose or fructose) → alcohol (ethanol) + carbon dioxide C6H12O6 → 2 CH3CH2OH + 2 CO2 .
Why would glycolysis stop if neither fermentation or respiration functioned in the cell?
By there being no Oxygen during cellular respiration, then another process called Fermentation would occur which carries on with cellular respiration without oxygen molecules being present during the cycle, but the results of cellular respiration would still be the same.
What type of animals does the queen have?
The animals of the queen depends on what the animal queen is.
What type of story does suspense occur in?
It occurs in a mystery
What type of plate boundary does an earthquake occur at?
stomer
Which type of germination occur in rhizophora?
viviperous germination.
What are the organs of ecosystem?
Ecosystems do not have organs. Organs only occur in individual living animals.
