Fermentation can result in the formation of either lactic acid or ethanol, depending on the type of fermentation. It does not completely oxidize glucose to CO2 and H2O as occurs in aerobic respiration. Fermentation can involve substrate-level ATP synthesis, but not ADP synthesis. Fermentation also occurs anaerobically, not aerobically in yeasts. The process is also exergonic, not endergonic.
