Fermentation is also known as
A
anaerobic respiration
B
aerobic respiration
C
photosynthesis
D
lactic acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration where respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen. Fermentation is an anaerobic pathway-a common pathway in the majority of prokaryotes and unicellular eukaryotes. In this process, glucose is partially oxidised to form acids and alcohol.

Detailed explanation-2: -The anearobic type of respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen. It is often referred to as fermentation. It involves the utilisation of free oxygen and results in complete oxidation of glucose into carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-3: -anaerobic respiration: A form of respiration using electron acceptors other than oxygen. fermentation: An anaerobic biochemical reaction. When this reaction occurs in yeast, enzymes catalyze the conversion of sugars to alcohol or acetic acid with the evolution of carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fermentation is an enzyme catalysed, metabolic process whereby organisms convert starch or sugar to alcohol or an acid anaerobically releasing energy. The science of fermentation is called “zymology”.

Detailed explanation-5: -Aerobic fermentation or aerobic glycolysis is a metabolic process by which cells metabolize sugars via fermentation in the presence of oxygen and occurs through the repression of normal respiratory metabolism. It is referred to as the Crabtree effect in yeast.
