Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In fermentation, the only energy extraction pathway is glycolysis, with one or two extra reactions tacked on at the end.
Detailed explanation-2: -CO2 is formed at two places during aerobic respiration. One occurs when the pyruvate is oxidized into acetyl-CoA, and the other occurs during the citric acid cycle. If the oxygen is not available, the cell will undergo anaerobic respiration, which is called fermentation as well.
