20
Q

Breathing provides enough oxygen for your body to carry out normal activities.

A

permentation

21
Q

If oxygen is not present, the products of glycolysis (pyruvic acid and NADH) will enter an alternative process called .

A

fermentation

A

Lactic Acid Fermentation

25
Q

is a process used by many yeasts and plants.

A

Alcoholic Fermentation
