interior the absence of oxygen, many cells use fermentation to produce ATP via substrate-point phosphorylation. that's a catabolic technique that makes a limited volume of ATP from glucose with out an electron transport chain and that produces a function end product, alongside with ethyl alcohol or lactic acid

Fermentations allow a cell to produce ATP via glycolysis in an anaerobic environment. The last reaction or two use pyruvate formed by glycolysis to accept electrons from NADH which was generated earlier in glycolysis. The oxidation of NADH regenerates NAD+ so that glycolysis can continue to operate, generating ATP.
