Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Lactic acid fermentation takes place in bacteria. In the absence of oxygen, animals produce lactic acid in the muscles. Lactic acid creates toxicity in tissues. The glycolysis step is the same for both processes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glycolysis can take place without oxygen in a process called fermentation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Both aerobic cellular respiration and fermentation involve many chemical reactions that release high energy electrons from organic molecules and transfer the electrons to other molecules, often referred to as electron carriers (or coenzymes).
