Both glycolysis and fermentation are anaerobic processes, meaning they do not require oxygen. They both begin with the breakdown of glucose to produce pyruvate, generating a small amount of ATP. Furthermore, fermentation is a way to regenerate NAD+ from NADH, which is necessary for glycolysis to continue under anaerobic conditions. Both pathways are crucial for energy production when oxygen is scarce.
