Can cellular respiration and fermentation be used to release energy?

No. Either cellular repsiration or fermentation can be used to release energy depending on the presence or absense of oxygen. When oxygen is present, it acts as the terminal electron acceptor in cellular repritation, followed by the release of energy When there is no oxygen present, other organic molecules (like lactic acid) accept the terninal electron and energy is generated

∙ 12y agoyes if glucose is present with oxygen it (glucose) will be broken down to release large amounts of energy. if glucose is present but oxygen is not, then it (glucose) will only be partially broken down therefore energy will be released but only in small amounts.

What product is common to reactions to cellular respiration and fermentation?
Cellular respiration and fermentation both produce ATP - which is a form of energy that cells can use.
Does cellular respiration or photosynthesis capture energy?
Cellular respiration release energy.Photosynthesis capture light energy.
Where in an animal is a sugar molecule broken down to release energy?
cellular respiration
What is the difference between cellular respiration and fermantation?
Respiration requires oxygen to obtain energy from glucose. Fermentation does not need oxygen to obtain energy from glucose. You use respiration. Yeasts use fermentation.
Do cellular respiration and fermentation both harvest energy from sugars?
Yes, they both create ATP. The difference is, cellular respiration creates 36 ATP molecules and fermentation only creates 2 ATP molecules.
What term describes the release of energy from food molecules in the absence of oxygen?
Fermentation!!!!!
What are two ways a cell can get energy from food?
Cells can release energy in two basic processes: Cellular respiration and fermentation. Cellular respiration requires oxygen but fermentation does not. Cellular respiration releases MUCH more usable energy then fermentation does.
How are fermentation and cellular respiration similar?
Both fermentation and cellular respiration release energy from glucose and other food molecules, making them similar in their processes.
How are fermentation and cellular similar?
Both fermentation and cellular respiration release energy from glucose and other food molecules, making them similar in their processes.
What releases more energy fermentation or cellular respiration?
Respiration
What product is common to reactions to cellular respiration and fermentation?

What two life processes necessary for an organism to release energy?
I believe it is Respiration and Nutrition; not sure though.
What release more energy respiration or fermentation?
Respiration.
Do cells use both respiration and fermentation to release energy?
Yes...Cells do use both Respiration and fermentation to release energy.
Is cellular respiration more or less efficient than fermentation?
Cellular respiration is more efficient than fermentation. Cellular respiration produces approximately 36-38 ATP molecules, while fermentation produces only 2 ATP, which is a significant loss in usable energy.
Do prokaryotic cells release energy by fermentation or by respiration?
respiration
Does fermentation produce more energy per glucose than cellular respiration?
No.
