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.
Oxygen is the difference! Cellular respiration requires oxygen, while cellular fermentation does not.
no
Respiration is the process where cells break down glucose in the presence of oxygen to produce energy, while fermentation is the process where cells break down glucose in the absence of oxygen to produce energy. Respiration produces more energy (ATP) compared to fermentation and is more efficient. Fermentation produces byproducts such as lactic acid or ethanol, while respiration produces carbon dioxide and water.
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 and fermentation both extract energy from food
Yes, they both create ATP. The difference is, cellular respiration creates 36 ATP molecules and fermentation only creates 2 ATP molecules.
cellular respiration requires oxygen while fermentation does not
Fermentation is a process that breaks down sugars into energy without using oxygen, while cellular respiration is a process that breaks down sugars with the use of oxygen to produce energy.
Respiration uses oxygen, while fermentation does not use oxygen.
Fermentation
The main difference is that respiration involves the breakdown of glucose with the presence of oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water, while fermentation is an anaerobic process that breaks down glucose into energy and other byproducts like lactic acid or ethanol without the use of oxygen.
