This question is incomplete, the complete question is:Fermentation is carried out regularly, and not only during oxygen emergencies, by what organisms?A)most animalsB)many fungi and bacteriaC)plants, during the night timeD)all organisms, all of the timeThe Correct answer is B (Many fungi and bacteria)Explanation:All living organisms need energy for their life processes, although different ways are employed by different organisms. Most living organisms use oxygen to make ATP from glucose. However, many living things can also make ATP without oxygen.Organisms like plants, fungi and some bacteria undergo aerobic respiration in the presence of oxygen but can use anaerobic respiration when oxygen is in short supply. However, certain bacteria and fungi (yeast) employ only anaerobic respiration. They may not even survive in aerobic conditions i.e. they are strictly anaerobic organisms. One important way of making ATP without oxygen is called FERMENTATION.Fermentation is the metabolic process by which organic molecules (glucose) are converted into acids, gases, or alcohol in the absence of oxygen. Fermentation is of two types; Lactic acid fermentation (pyruvate to lactic acid) and Alcoholic fermentation (pyruvate to alcohol and CO2). NAD+ is generated in both process to facilitate the release of ATP.Fermentation only yields a net of 2 ATP per glucose molecule (through glycolysis) unlike aerobic respiration, which yields as many as 32 molecules of ATP per glucose molecule using oxidative phosphorylation.

Answer;B)many fungi and bacteriaExplanation;-Fermentation is a metabolic process in which an organism converts a carbohydrate, such as starch or a sugar, into an alcohol or an acid. For example, yeast performs fermentation to obtain energy by converting sugar into alcohol.-This metabolic process consumes sugar in the absence of oxygen. The products are organic acids, gases, or alcohol. It occurs in yeast and bacteria, and also in oxygen-starved muscle cells, as in the case of lactic acid fermentation. There are two types of fermentation: lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation.

The answer to the question above is:Â Fermentation is carried out regularly, and not only during oxygen emergencies, Â byÂ obligatory anaerobes, which consist of prokaryotes.>>>An anaerobic organism orÂ anaerobeÂ is any organism that does not require oxygen for growth. It may react negatively or even die if oxygen is present.
