Detailed Solution
During lactic acid fermentation, 3 carbon compound pyruvic acid gets converted to lactic acid which is also a 3-carbon compound. Therefore, CO2 is not released during this process.During glycolysis, 6 carbon glucose ultimately gets converted to 2 molecules of 3 carbon compound pyruvic acid. Therefore, no carbon dioxide is released during the process.
