Respiration vs. Fermentation

Respirationnoun

The process of inhaling and exhaling; breathing, breath.

Respirationnoun

An act of breathing; a breath.

Respirationnoun

Any similar process in an organism that lacks lungs that exchanges gases with its environment.

Respirationnoun

The process by which cells obtain chemical energy by the consumption of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide.

Respirationnoun

The act of respiring or breathing again, or catching one's breath.

Respirationnoun

Relief from toil or suffering: rest.

Respirationnoun

Interval; intermission.

Respirationnoun

The act of resping or breathing; the act of taking in and giving out air; the aggregate of those processes bu which oxygen is introduced into the system, and carbon dioxide, or carbonic acid, removed.

Respirationnoun

the metabolic processes whereby certain organisms obtain energy from organic moelcules; processes that take place in the cells and tissues during which energy is released and carbon dioxide is produced and absorbed by the blood to be transported to the lungs

Respirationnoun

a single complete act of breathing in and out;

Respirationnoun

the bodily process of inhalation and exhalation; the process of taking in oxygen from inhaled air and releasing carbon dioxide by exhalation

Fermentationnoun

(biochemistry) Any of many anaerobic biochemical reactions in which an enzyme (or several enzymes produced by a microorganism) catalyses the conversion of one substance into another; especially the conversion (using yeast) of sugars to alcohol or acetic acid with the evolution of carbon dioxide

Fermentationnoun

A state of agitation or excitement; a ferment.

Fermentationnoun

The process of undergoing an effervescent change, as by the action of yeast;

Fermentationnoun

A state of agitation or excitement, as of the intellect or the feelings.

Fermentationnoun

a process in which an agent causes an organic substance to break down into simpler substances; especially, the anaerobic breakdown of sugar into alcohol

Fermentationnoun

a state of agitation or turbulent change or development;

Fermentationnoun

a chemical phenomenon in which an organic molecule splits into simpler substances

Fermentation

Fermentation is a metabolic process that produces chemical changes in organic substrates through the action of enzymes. In biochemistry, it is narrowly defined as the extraction of energy from carbohydrates in the absence of oxygen.
