Fermentation is simply anaerobic cellular respiration where an organic compound is used as an electron acceptor instead of using oxygen. Consequently, lots of types of cells can utilize fermentation. There are examples of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes that are capable of anaerobic respiration.
The most common example of fermentation is in the yeast cell, which produces the alcohol found in beer. Another example is the human muscle cell, which produces lactic acid through fermentation when there is not enough oxygen present to continue cellular respiration (such as after a long jog).

lactic acid fermentation. (produces lactate and is only about 100th as efficient as cellular respiration)
Yes. It is called endogenous ethanol production, occurs in the gut, and can create about an ounce of pure alcohol each and every day. So even alcohol abstainers consume more than the alcohol content of a beer or a shot of whiskey daily.
Yes...Cells do use both Respiration and fermentation to release energy.
Cells don't do fermentation, the yeast does. Cells don't do fermentation, the yeast does.
Human muscle cells undergo lactic acid fermentation in low oxygen conditions.
Alcoholic Fermentation does not occur in human bodies but rather in plant cells when they do not receive adequate amounts of the necessary amounts of nutrients and minerals. Lactic fermentation however occurs in human cells located in the cytoplasm after glycolysis.

No, not all body cells always use cellular respiration and fermentation. Different cells in the body have different energy needs and can switch between these processes depending on factors such as oxygen availability and energy requirements. Cells like muscle cells primarily use aerobic respiration, while certain microorganisms and muscle cells can use fermentation in the absence of oxygen.
During intense physical activity, human muscle cells use lactic acid fermentation to produce energy when there is not enough oxygen available. This process converts glucose into lactic acid, releasing energy that can be used by the muscles for short bursts of activity.

lactic acid fermentation
During fermentation in human muscle cells, lactic acid is produced as a byproduct. This lactic acid is eventually broken down and converted back into energy by the body's cells, helping to replenish energy stores and reduce muscle fatigue.
