We respect your privacy. If you feel a pain in your leg, itâs likely a cramp or a pulled muscle. But it could be a much more serious condition: blood clots of deep vein thrombosis, also called DVT. While relatively rare â DVT affects about 300,000 to 600,000 people in the United States â it can have serious health consequences.
Fermentation occurs because sugar contains energy. Microorganizism can break down sugars and extract some of the energy using fermentation in the absence of oxygen. Your body can do the same thing. First a carbon dioxide compound is removed from the sugar leaving a radical.
Glycolysis occurs in all living cells. Fermentation follows glycolysis in anaerobic conditions. Fermentation is not part of aerobic cellular respiration. Fermentation occurs in the cytoplasm. The purpose of fermentation is to prevent the accumulation of pyruvate, and to prevent the depletion of the NADox pool.
