Detailed explanation-1: -When oxygen is not present, glycolysis is usually followed by fermentation; hence, fermentation is anaerobic. Anaerobic is a term that is used to describe a process or an activity which do not require oxygen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fermentation does not use oxygen; thus, it is “anaerobic”. Apart from fermentation, living things produce chemical energy by degrading sugar molecules (e.g. glucose) through aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen, hence, the term ‘’aerobic”.
Detailed explanation-3: -Anaerobic stands for “without oxygen.” This method of cellular respiration does not require oxygen to generate energy. For smaller animals to breathe, there is not enough oxygen available so they need the energy to survive in the absence of oxygen.
