Detailed explanation-1: -Fermentation reactions occur in the cytoplasm of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. In the absence of oxygen, pyruvate does not enter the mitochondria in eukaryotic cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fermentation occurs in the body’s muscle tissues. Muscle tissues are stressed as a result of exercise or vigorous activity and use more energy to accomplish the same task. Therefore, fermentation occurs in muscle tissue to meet energy requirements and prevent stress. The body’s muscular tissues undergo fermentation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fermentation is another anaerobic (non-oxygen-requiring) pathway for breaking down glucose, one that’s performed by many types of organisms and cells. In fermentation, the only energy extraction pathway is glycolysis, with one or two extra reactions tacked on at the end.
