| fermentation |
An anaerobic process (not requiring oxygen) in which organisms convert sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. This process does not occur in animals but is used extensively by yeast (single-celled fungi). Humans exploit this phenomenon to make bread (the gas bubbles expand the dough) as well as wine and beer (for the alcohol produced).
