Solution

Fermentation:
The process of fermentation is a form of anaerobic respiration carried by yeast.
The breaking down of food particles in absence of oxygen and releasing a little amount of energy is known as anaerobic respiration.
Yeast utilizes sugar or starch and converts it into ethanol and carbon dioxide is evolved in this process.
The chemical reaction of fermentation is:
C₆H₁₂O₆ (Glucose) → Ethanol + CO₂.
Final answer: Fermentation takes place in yeast.
