Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Fermentation is another anaerobic (non-oxygen-requiring) pathway for breaking down glucose, one that’s performed by many types of organisms and cells. In fermentation, the only energy extraction pathway is glycolysis, with one or two extra reactions tacked on at the end.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fermentation involves anaerobic type of respiration. It occurs in yeast in the absence of oxygen. It helps in liberating energy even if Oxygen is not available.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fermentation does not require oxygen and is therefore anaerobic. Fermentation will replenish NAD+ from the NADH + H+ produced in glycolysis.
