Question

Why does an organism go through fermentation?

Answer 1

• Organisms undergo fermentation process because :

Explanation:

• Fermentation only yield about 5% of energy obtained by aerobic respiration.
• This energy is very small but sufficient to maintain life of organisms such as yest.
• But majority of organisms , need oxygen for respiration.
• Fermentation energy is too low for them.They die within minutes in total absence of oxygen.Fermentation can supplement the aerobic energy in them .

So, organisms undergo fermentation process.
