Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Ferments

👉 Ferment is a medical term that refers to a process by which cells, especially bacteria, produce energy by breaking down glucose. This can occur naturally in certain organisms and is an important step in the metabolism of food. For example, yeast (a type of fungus) produces alcohol when it breaks down glucose in its cells. This process occurs spontaneously, without the need for oxygen, making it a key part of fermentation processes used to make beer, wine, and other alcoholic beverages. Fermentation
