what molecule is needed for aerobic respiration but not for fermentation
Yes. In more complex organism, in which aerobic respiration is the main process to make ATP, when your body does have enough oxygen it goes though anaerobic respiration. In simpler organisms, which don't require much ATP, anaerobic would be the main process.
Mitochondria are the organelles responsible for performing aerobic respiration.
fermentation
aerobic
aerobic respiration accur in the presence of oxygen,but anarobic resoiration accur in the absence of oxygen.aerobic respiration produes ATP which is the energy currency needed to perform various cellular functions.anaerobic repiration happens in the muscles during strenous exercising because the body needs a great amount of oxygen that aerobic respiration cant fulfill in the same rate,but it prduces lactate so it only accur for very short time.the lactate forms an "oxygen debt" that the body have to pay back as soon as possible to get rid of this lactate.also anerobic respiration happens in yeast, again if you deprive them of oxygen they respire anaerobicly producing ethanol by fermentation.
aerobic respiration and possibly lactic acid fermentation
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.
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.
Aerobic Respiration
Bacterial metabolism is based on anaerobic fermentation not aerobic respiration.
Produces far less energy than aerobic respiration. That's the main difference.
