Study Notes

Fermentation

Fermentation is the breakdown of sugar molecules into simpler compounds to create usable chemical energy.
It enables cells to produce chemical energy from sugar (e.g., glucose) without needing oxygen.
This process is crucial for anaerobic organisms (obligate, facultative, or aerotolerant) to survive in oxygen-free environments (anoxic).
Examples of anoxic environments include mud, soil, and deep-sea hydrothermal vents.
