The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP (Links to an external site.) for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell. The process occurs in two phases: glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid the complete oxidation of pyruvic acidto carbon dioxide and water. Fermation is the chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms, typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat. the process of fermentation involved in the making of beer, wine, and liquor, in which sugars are converted to ethyl alcohol.

ATP is used and released during the metabolic processes.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the process of Respiration, a glucose molecule is eventually broken down into carbon dioxide and water. During this process, some ATP is produced directly in the reactions that transform glucose. However, more ATP is produced later in a process called oxidative phosphorylation.

Oxidative phosphorylation takes place by the movement of electrons through the electron transport chain, a series of proteins embedded in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion.

Fermentation process takes place when the availability of oxygen is less. In this process glucose instead of converting into CO2 and water gets converted into lactic acid or any other alcohol.
