Cells breaking down molecules to release energy without using oxygen

Real World Example

Imagine you’re at a party, and the main power goes out, leaving you without any electricity to run your music system. Just like you improvise by using a battery-powered speaker to keep the music going, cells switch to fermentation to generate energy without relying on oxygen. In this scenario, the main power outage is like the absence of oxygen, your battery-powered speaker represents fermentation, and the music is the energy that cells produce by breaking down molecules in an oxygen-free environment.
