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 yeast cells, and a form of fermentation takes place in bacteria and in the muscle cells of animals. In yeast cells (the yeast used for baking bread and producing alcoholic beverages), glucose can be metabolized through cellular respiration as in other cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fermentation occurs in the cytoplasm of both eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells. Fermentation takes place in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells like bacteria. Not only fermentation, but all kind of metabolic process also occur in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -As lactic acid fermentation is a type of fermentation, so lactic acid fermentation occurs in the cytoplasm of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fermentation is a reaction that eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells use to obtain energy from food when oxygen levels are low. Because no oxygen is used, fermentation makes less ATP than cellular respiration does. Fermentation takes place in a cell’s cytoplasm, not in mitochondria.
