Step-by-step explanation:

Fermentation may be defined as the breakdown of glucose molecule in the limited supply of oxygen with the help of microorganisms.

Pyruvate molecules and electrons waste product combine together in fermentation to yield lactic acid and two molecules of ATP. The transfer of electron from NADH to pyruvate molecule generates the lactic acid.
