Which is more efficient in the terms of ATP production aerobic or fermentation?

Both start with glycolysis, which is an anaerobic process that produces a net gain of 2 ATP. Glycolysis can be followed by fermentation or aerobic respiration, depending on the organism and available oxygen for aerobic respiration. If glycolysis is followed by fermentation, no more ATP will be produced, so glycolysis and fermentation produce only 2 ATP for every glucose molecule. However, if aerobic respiration occurs, around 34 to 36 more molecules of ATP can be produced from every glucose molecule. So, aerobic respiration is much more efficient at producing ATP.

Explain how the prefix aero is related to the terms aerobic and anaerobic?
Gg
Is kingdom plantae aerobic or anaerobic?
Aerobic and anaerobic typically refer to microorganisms. Obligate anaerobes die in the presence of oxygen, and obligate aerobes die without it. Most plants occur in an oxygen-rich, terrestrial environment, and would thus be considered aerobic. Even totally aquatic plants, as those found in oceans, are exposed to some quantities of oxygen, thus it seems logical to surmise that if the terms aerobic and anaerobic are to be applied to macroscopic life such as plants, plants would be considered aerobic.
The process by which cells break down molecules to release energy without using oxygen?
Anerobic
In what situation does anaerobic take place?
Anaerobic respiration takes place in situations where the body isn't getting enough oxygen.
What is the site of most ATP production also called the power-houses of a cell?
In simple terms, the mitochondria are the site of energy production in the cell.
Compare aerobic respiration and fermentation in terms of efficiency of obtaining energy from glucose?
ATP or adenosine triphosphate provides the energy for the cells. Aerobic respiration is more efficient because it produces 32 ATP, while fermentation only produces 2 ATP.
1.)Why are methods of anaerobic respiration such as fermentation less efficient than aerobic respiration?
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.
In terms ATP production which process results in the most stored energy?
Aerobic respiration results in the most ATP.
Why do craft operations use logical sequences?
To make production more efficient in terms of time and materials, hence lowering costs.
Is squamous cell carcinoma aerobic or anerobic?
Aerobic and anaerobic are terms usually applied to bacteriae, in which we differ between different levels of "air tollerance". A squamous cell carcinoma is a neoplasm consisting of the body's own cells (allthough the cells have undergone a transformation into tumor cells). The cells in our body are aerobic (allthough they can metabolize nutrients anaerobically for a short time; the anaerobic metabolism is not efficient enough for survival). therefore the cells of a carcinoma are aerobic.
