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: -As mentioned above, the term “Aerobic fermentation” is misnamed because fermentation is an anaerobic process. Simply, this is a process of burning simple sugars to energy in cells; more scientifically, it can be called aerobic respiration.
Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: Some examples of anaerobic respiration include alcohol fermentation, lactic acid fermentation (which can result in yogurt and in sore muscles), and in decomposition of organic matter. The equation is: glucose + enzymes = carbon dioxide + ethanol/lactic acid.
