Detailed explanation-1: -There are two types of fermentation, alcoholic and lactic acid. 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+.
Detailed explanation-2: -Alcoholic fermentation is the basis for the manufacturing of alcoholic beverages such as wine and beer.
Detailed explanation-3: -In many organisms, fermentation produces either an acid or an alcohol. Two of the most common and well studied fermentative pathways, for example, produce lactate, or lactic acid, and ethanol and carbon dioxide. Fermentation resulting in lactate is common in bacteria, protists, fungi, and many types of animal cells.
