Fermentation and respiration are very different things.
Fermentation is the chemical breaking down of a substance (such as the souring of milk) produced by an enzyme and usually accompanied by the formation of a gas (bubbling).
Respiration is breathing.
Respiration uses oxygen, fermentation doesn't.
respiration uses oxygen
Oxygen is the difference! Cellular respiration requires oxygen, while cellular fermentation does not.
no
cellular respiration uses oxygen but fermentation does not use oxygen
Fermentation is anaerobic respiration. Glycolysis is part of aerobic respiration. The pathways for both processes, however, are almost identical to each other.
Respiration requires oxygen to obtain energy from glucose. Fermentation does not need oxygen to obtain energy from glucose. You use respiration. Yeasts use fermentation.
Produces far less energy than aerobic respiration. That's the main difference.
respiration and fermentation both extract energy from food
like respiration, fermentation begins in the cytoplasm. Again, as the glucose molecules are broken down, energy is released. But the simple molecules from the break down of glu- cose do not move into the mitochondria!!!
cellular respiration requires oxygen while fermentation does not
Yes, they both create ATP. The difference is, cellular respiration creates 36 ATP molecules and fermentation only creates 2 ATP molecules.
