What happens during fermentation?
Fermentation happens when there is no oxygen, and only produces a little ATP and a waste, either alcohol or lactic acid. So it does not produce NADH, and definitely produces less than aerobic. Humans perform it (lactic acid fermentation) so it isn’t only bacteria. So, 3: there is a net gain of ATP.
