Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Fermentation is glycolysis followed by a process that makes it possible to continue to produce ATP without oxygen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Oxygen plays a multifaceted role in yeast metabolism, although one major role of dissolved oxygen in brewery fermentations is to promote the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) and ergosterol, which are required for adequate anaerobic growth during fermentation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Like respiration, fermentation is the process of extracting energy from the oxidation of organic compounds (like glucose). However, fermentation can occur in the presence or absence of oxygen.
