This video compares the processes of aerobic cellular respiration, lactic acid fermentation, alcoholic fermentation and anaerobic respiration. It reviews glycolysis, which all four processes share, and then the special modifications.
Fermentation is a process that breaks down glucose or other sugars to form a limited amount of ATP without using an electron transport chain. It produces an end product such as lactic acid or ethanol and occurs when there is no oxygen or limited oxygen. Fermentation also regenerates the NAD+ needed to run Glycolysis, allowing the process to repeat and generating 2 ATP each time.
