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.

∙ 13y agoNo, in terms of how many ATP molecules are made, fermentation is not as efficient as cellular respiration. Fermentation produces two ATP molecules per glucose molecule, while cellular respiration yields 36 ATP molecules. However, fermentation can occur without oxygen, whereas cellular respiration cannot after glycolysis.

∙ 15y agoAs anaerobic respiration does not lead to the complete oxidation or partial oxidation of respiratory substrate occusrs which result in the less energy (ATP) production.

What does 'anaerobic respiration is far less efficient than aerobic respiration' mean?
There are two types of cellular respiration: aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic respiration occurs when there is oxygen present. In total, 36 ATP are produced by the end of aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration occurs when there is no oxygen present. In total, just 4 ATP are produced by the end of anaerobic respiration. Thus, aerobic respiration is more efficient in comparison to anaerobic respiration as it yields more ATP
Aerobic respiration anaerobic respiration and fermentation are?
Anaerobic respiration is not the same as fermentation, although it does happen in the absence of oxygen unlike aerobic respiration which is when glucose and oxygen react to create carbon dioxide, water and energy. Basically, aerobic respiration is what animals do to gain energy and it is the opposite of photosynthesis.
Do cells make ethanol as a waste of cellular respiration?
No, ethanol is a byproduct of fermentation...not aerobic or anaerobic respiration
Where in your body can you use anaerobic respiration?
In your muscle cells. In your case, the only fermentation your cells are going through is lactic acid fermentation (and not alcohol fermentation). Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen. If there is oxygen present, then your cells will go through aerobic respiration normally. However, there are times when your cells lack oxygen, as in intense exercise. When cells can do both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, it is called facultative respiration.
What molecule is used during aerobic respiration?
Cellular respiration can be aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, anaerobic respiration does not need oxygen.
Does anaerobic cellular fermentation use the same final electron acceptors as aerobic respiration?
No, because the electron acceptor is what cates the electrons as the leave the electron transport chain, which is oxygen in aerobic respiration. Since aerobic respiration uses oxygen, and anaerobic fermentation is abest of oxygen, anaerobic fermentation cannot possibly use oxygen as respiration does.
What term refers to the production of energy by a cell without using oxygen?
The process of converting glucose (C6H1206) to energy in the form of ATP is known as anaerobic respiration in humans. The pathway involves glucose as a reactant yielding 2 lactic acids and 2 ATPs.

How do bacteria carry out respiration?
Bacterial metabolism is based on anaerobic fermentation not aerobic respiration.
What is the name of the process of resperation that does not require oxygen?
anaerobic respiration there is also fermentation, which is like anaerobic respiration but does not have an electron transport chain
Fermentation is less efficient than areobic respiration because fermentation creates less molecules of?
2 ATP molecules are produced in anaerobic respiration (where there is no oxygen), while in aerobic (where there is oxygen) respiration, 36 ATP molecules are produced.
The Difference of aerobic respiration and unaerobic respiration?
Aerobic Respiration: Respiration that requires oxygen Anaerobic Respiration: respiration that does not use oxygen aerobic respiration is continuous. anaerobic respiration has no new subsrates from photosynthesis to continue. it is usually shorter and not as efficient.
Do cells make ethanol as a waste of cellular respiration?
No, ethanol is a byproduct of fermentation...not aerobic or anaerobic respiration
Which releases more energy aerobic or cellular?
That's not a full question, but I think I know what you are asking. Aerobic respiration > anaerobic respiration > fermentation.
With out oxygen there is only aerobic respiration?
No. Aerobic respiration is WITH oxygen. ANaerobic is without. Generally anaerobic process is fermentation, but that doesn't produce nearly as much ATP, and is therefore unfavorable for anything big, like people or animals.
