Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic organisms. When oxygen is absent pyruvate is converted to lactic acid or ethanol and CO2 by fermentation. Fermentation is a process in which substances break down into simpler substances without the help of oxygen. Hence this is also called as anaerobic respiration .
Detailed explanation-2: -Both of these methods are anaerobic (do not require oxygen) to achieve NAD+ regeneration and enable organisms to convert energy for their use in the absence of oxygen. During fermentation, only glycolysis occurs.
Detailed explanation-3: -The bacteria carry out lactic acid fermentation in the absence of oxygen. The bacteria convert the lactose sugar to glucose, which enters glycolysis and is followed by lactic acid fermentation.
