what is the difference between fermentation and glycolysis?? I'm really confused so if anyone could put it in point blank simpler terms that would be great!!

Fermentation is anaerobic respiration. Glycolysis is part of aerobic respiration. The pathways for both processes are identical up to the pyruvate step. In aerobic respiration, pyruvate enters Krebs Cycle, but in fermentation, pyruvate has to be converted to ethanol or lactic acid to regenerate NAD+.

Fermentation And Glycolysis

Mitochondria mitochondria are the structures in cells that produce the energy from respiration and are found in all cells. Muscle cells often perform anaerobic respiration because at times of physical activity they require more energy to be produced than reacting with oxygen can provide.

Here is the difference:
Glycolysis is the process in which one molecule of glucose is broken down.
Fermentation is the process in which food molecules release energy in the absence of oxygen.
