inactivated
|
|
|
also involved

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Fermentation follows glycolysis in the absence of oxygen. Alcoholic fermentation produces ethanol, carbon dioxide, and NAD+. Lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid (lactate) and NAD+. The NAD+ cycles back to allow glycolysis to continue so more ATP is made.
Detailed explanation-2: -(iii) The site for fermentation is the mitochondria. (iv) Fermentation is a form of anaerobic respiration.
