Question

what is fermentation? a series of reactions, occurring in the presence of sunlight, that creates glucose, or sugar a chemical process, occurring without oxygen, by which glucose is broken down to create atp the set of chemical reactions that occur in living organisms in order to maintain life a series of reactions, occurring in the presence of oxygen, by which glucose is broken down to create atp

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Fermentation is an anaerobic (without oxygen) process. It breaks down glucose to produce ATP. The first option describes photosynthesis (uses sunlight to make glucose). The third option is metabolism (all chemical reactions in organisms). The fourth option is aerobic respiration (uses oxygen to break down glucose for ATP). Only the second option correctly defines fermentation as an oxygen - free glucose breakdown for ATP.

Answer:

A chemical process, occurring without oxygen, by which glucose is broken down to create ATP.
