Detailed explanation-1: -There are two types of fermentation, alcoholic and lactic acid. Fermentation follows glycolysis in the absence of oxygen. Alcoholic fermentation produces ethanol, carbon dioxide, and NAD+. Lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid (lactate) and NAD+.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lactic acid fermentation is a metabolic process by which some bacteria produces lactic acid from pyruvic acid. Alcoholic fermentation is a biochemical process by which sugar is converted into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide by some bacteria and yeast.

Detailed explanation-3: -Function of Fermentation During fermentation, an organic electron acceptor (such as pyruvate or acetaldehyde) reacts with NADH to form NAD+, generating products such as carbon dioxide and ethanol (ethanol fermentation) or lactate (lactic acid fermentation) in the process.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are two types of fermentation: alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation.

Detailed explanation-5: -What is common for both alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation? both show reduction reaction.
