Fermentation can occur in a muscle under anaerobic conditions. During anaerobic respiration, the breakdown of glucose occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and does not require oxygen. This process is called fermentation, and it produces a small amount of ATP. However, the amount of ATP produced during fermentation is much less than what is produced during aerobic respiration.
