Both of these processes make ATP which are required by cells as a source of energy. Fermentation is very inefficient at producing ATP compared to aerobic respiration, but ATP is still produced, nonetheless.
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.

The reason that they alike is because they are both trying to produce ATP for your body, but if Cellular Respiration fails, then they resort to Fermentation to get the job done! Hope that that was helpful! Julian
The glycolytic pathway is common to both fermentation and cellular respiration. During the course of the metabolic pathway, glucose is broken down to pyruvate. In the presence of oxygen, the pyruvate molecule becomes involved in the TCA cycle. In the absence of oxygen however, fermentation occures. The process is brought about by an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase.
Oxygen
what molecule is needed for aerobic respiration but not for fermentation
fermentation
In aerobic respiration which incorporates oxygen, 36 molecules are produced per 1 molecule of glucose and in anaerobic respiration (fermentation) where no oxygen is incorporated, only 2 molecules are produced per 1 molecule of glucose
2 ATP are produced in anaerobic respiration(fermentation)
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.
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.

Their starting compound are different because fermentation takes in 2NAD+ and 2ADP molecules and changes them into 2NADH and 2ATP and 2 pyruvic acid molecules, while cellular respiration takes in electrons through electron carriers. What was this guy thinking when he made this answer....
a 2 Carbon molecule from a 6 carbon molecule
They use energy from carbon -di-oxide & it is known as anaerobic respiration.It occurs in the absence of oxygen & release 2 molecules of ATP from one glucose molecule. It also produces alcohol & lactic acid
Fermentation and cellular respiration both begin with diverse types of energy sources, inorganic ones like ammonia or organic ones like glucose, however how they convert the energy source into ATP is different, as well as the amount of ATP yielded by both. Any type of respiration, aerobic or anaerobic, will involve an election transport chain while fermentation does not. Also the yield of ATP varies from about 38-32 for aerobic and aerobic respiration, respectively, while fermentation only yields about 2.
