Answer;

-Glycolysis

Glycolysis is common to both fermentation and cellular respiration.

Explanation;

Glycolysis is a universal process that is common to both cellular respiration and fermentation or anaerobic respiration.

- Fermentation and cellular respiration are similar in that they both begin with a series of reactions known as glycolysis, which breaks glucose molecules into smaller pyruvate molecules. They are also similar in that during both processes, ATP is produced for the cell to use.

-Fermentation and cellular respiration are different because, fermentation does not require oxygen but cellular respiration requires the presence of oxygen, and also water molecules are not produced during fermentation but are produced during cellular respiration.
