Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Fermentation, is a chemical process by which molecules such as glucose are broken down anaerobically. In plant and yeast cells pyruvate is converted into carbon dioxide and a type of alcohol called ethanol. This process is called fermentation and yields only two molecules of ATP per glucose molecule broken down. Fermentation in animals actually is given a different name, anaerobic respiration. Animals produce lactic acid+2 ATP. ATP is an energy source.
