Answer;

Both start with glycolysis.

Step-by-step explanation;

-Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert chemical energy from nutrients such as glucose into ATP, and then release waste products. It involves three phases, namely; Glycolysis, krebs cycle and electron transport chain.

-Alcoholic fermentation is a biochemical process in which sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose are converted into small amounts of ATP, producing ethanol and carbon dioxide during the process. It is a form of anaerobic respiration in which pyruvate is broken down into ethyl alcohol (C2H6O) and carbon dioxide.

-The two processes are similar in that they involve glycolysis (break down of glucose to two pyruvate molecules). They also involve production of energy in the form of ATP.
