Solution

Fermentation:

  1. Anaerobic respiration that occurs without oxygen is referred to as fermentation.
  2. To gain energy, this is done.
  3. Cellular respiration is often carried out via an aerobic mechanism in eukaryotic species like ourselves.
  4. However, anaerobic respiration occurs because of a lack of oxygen and a requirement for energy.
  5. Fermentation occurs in the body's muscle tissues.
  6. Muscle tissues are stressed as a result of exercise or vigorous activity and use more energy to accomplish the same task.
  7. Therefore, fermentation occurs in muscle tissue to meet energy requirements and prevent stress.
  8. The body's muscular tissues undergo fermentation.
