Solution

Glycolysis Fermentation
In glycolysis, glucose is converted into pyruvate. During fermentation, pyruvate is converted to alcohol or lactic acid.
It takes place with or without the presence of oxygen.
It takes place in presence of oxygen.
It results in a net gain of 2 ATP. No ATP is produced.
The pyruvate enters the citric acid cycle.
The pyruvate is converted into ethanol or lactic acid and NAD $^{+}$ is regenerated.
