A process in which micro-organisms in the absence of oxygen breakdown carbohydrates into various organic compounds is called
A
Guttation
B
Fermentation
C
Photosynthesis
D
Respiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Micro-organisms like bacteria and yeast undergo anaerobic respiration and break down sugars into ethanol or organic acids like acetic acid and lactic acid. This process is called fermentation.

Detailed explanation-2: -fermentation. the breakdown of carbohydrates by enzymes, bacteria, yeasts, or mold in the absence of oxygen. lactic acid fermentation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fermentation is defined as the anaerobic (absence of oxygen) breakdown of carbohydrates and other organic compounds into alcohols, organic acids, gases, etc., with the help of microorganisms or their enzymes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Anaerobic (cellular) respiration is a respiratory process that occurs in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes in which cells break down the sugar molecules to produce energy without the presence of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-5: -Anaerobic respiration does not need oxygen (unlike aerobic respiration). It is the release of a relatively small amount of energy in cells by the breakdown of food substances in the absence of oxygen.
