Answer:

In humans we go through Lactic Acid Fermination

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important because after glycolysis we have the elctron carrier NAD+ reduced to NADH and we cant continue glycolysis until we have NADH back to NAD+ so all lactic acid fermintation does it removed the electron and allow glycolysis to continue. It should be noted that fermintation occurs when there is no oxygen / not enough to continue cellular respiration so we rely on glycolysis to produce very little ATP while oxygen is replenished,
