False. It is actually the opposite - fermentation is "anaerobic" respiration, which means "without oxygen." In yeast, they convert glucose (sugar) to ethanol (alcohol) and carbon dioxide when there is no oxygen. It is how they break down glucose to get energy. In muscles, a similar process occurs when they are working so hard that they use oxygen up too quickly, but still need energy. In this case, glucose is broken down to lactic acid.

Fermentation is an anaerobic process. When oxygen is not present fermentation must occur to regenerate NAD so glycolsis can continue. If oxygen is present than it would proceed into aerobic respiration (Krebs and Electron Transport Chain). Think about what happens in muscle cells during exercise.

Fermentation IS aerobic respiration by the yeast in the brew.
And pooping too.
