Why Is Fermentation Important

2016-10-05 04:09:15 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0 0

Fermentation is important to cells that don't have oxygen or cells that don't use oxygen because:

1. It allows the cells to get 2 ATP gain from one molecule of glucose, even without oxygen.
2. Fermentation takes away the end products of glycolysis so glycolysis can continue ... freeing up the electron carriers, and so on.
3. Fermentation is important to the baking industry because it is the process that yeast uses to produce the bubbles of carbon dioxide that make the dough rise.
4. Fermentation is important in wineries and breweries because yeast uses fermentation to produce alcohol.
5. Fermentation is important in muscles because it allows the muscles to keep getting a little energy from glucose even when the oxygen supply can't keep up with the demand.
