Fermentation is the metabolic process that consumes sugar in the absence of oxygen. Fermentation, a chemical process by which molecules such as glucose are broken down anaerobically.

-What organisms perform alcoholic fermentation? What organisms perform lactic acid fermentation?

Yeasts perform alcoholic fermentation. Yeasts convert pyruvic acid into ethyl alcohol when they run out of oxygen. People use these organisms to make the following: Yogurt, bread, wine, and biofuels. Human muscle cells also use fermentation. This occurs when muscle cells cannot get oxygen fast enough to meet their energy needs through aerobic respiration.
