no oxygen present, there is also 2 kinds of fermentation lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation. lactic acid fermentation occurs when the body or muscle part needs oxygen but doesnt have enough.

anaerobic cellular respiration, which occurs when lifting weights or sprinting, results in quick muscle fatigue due to build up of lactic acid ("lactate fermentation"), which is converted from pyruvate, which is a component of Glycolosis. NADH becomes NAD+, which can be used for glycolosis.
Alcoholic fermentation occurs in plants with similar circumstances

Hypoxia. When oxygen is available, metabolism favors the process of oxidation. When no oxygen is available, metabolism favors fermentation.
