Step-by-step explanation:

Organisms that do not depend on oxygen degrade foodstuffs in a process called fermentation. (For longer treatments of various aspects of cellular respiration, see tricarboxylic acid cycle and metabolism.) During the process of glycolysis in cellular respiration, glucose is oxidized to carbon dioxide and water.
