Here's why:
* Anaerobic: This means the process occurs in the absence of oxygen.
* Catabolism: This refers to the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones, releasing energy.
* Organic nutrients: These are carbon-containing compounds that serve as fuel sources for organisms.
Fermentation is a metabolic process where organic molecules are broken down to generate energy without using oxygen. This is often done by bacteria and other microorganisms, but some human cells can also perform fermentation under anaerobic conditions.
