What determines if cellular respiration or fermentation will take place?

The Oxygen molecule determines if the Pyruvic acid enters Krebs cycle or undergoes fermentation. If Oxygen is present, it enters the Krebs cycle, whereas in its absence, it undergoes fermentation.

Cells with perform cellular respiration (those that are capable of doing such) in the presence of oxygen because it yields a higher amount of ATP per 1 molecule of glucose. In the absence of oxygen, cells, at least animal cells i.e. muscle cells, will perform glycolysis, which yields less ATP per molecule of glucose. Fermentation is performed by both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, but the best example is yeast which produces ethanol from glucose in the absence of oxygen.

∙ 11y agoglycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and the product of glycolysis moves into the mitochondria for cellular respiration. Red blood cells use glycolysis exclusively as they do not have mitochondria. Basically fermentation takes place in the absence of oxygen.

Where does the fermentation process of cellular respiration take place in the cell?
Cellular respiration and fermentation are two different processes.
Could you give a venn diagram of cellular respiration and fermentation?
Fermentation: Takes place without oxygen, takes place in cytoplasm. Cellular respiration: Requires oxygen, takes place in cytoplasm and mitochondria. Both: Are ways that organisms produce energy by breaking down glucose.
Compare cellular respiration and fermentation?
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!!!
How do cells determine if they use cellular respiration or fermentation?
At the completion of the glycolic process, pyruvic acid is produced. Some of the pyruvic acid ends up in the cell mitochondria where cellular respiration takes place. In the absence of oxygen, the pyruvic acid goes through a process of fermentation, which takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell.
Organelle were cellular respiration takes place?
Mitochondrion
How Cellular respiration and fermentation different?
for cellular respiration a process of oxidation takes place at some stage (aerobic) while in fermentation it is in abscence of oxygen(anaerobic)
Is oxygen a common product to reactions in cellular respiration and fermentation?
No, it is required only in cellular respiration. Fermentation takes place in the absence of oxygen.
Where does the fermentation process of cellular respiration take place in the cell?
Cellular respiration and fermentation are two different processes.
Is oxygen not required for cellular respiration?
Correct. Anaerobic cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm and gives a net yield of 2 ATP molecules. Anaerobic respiration consists of glycolysis followed by either lactic acid fermentation or alcoholic fermentation.

What is the second of cellular respiration?
actually there are two types of cellular respiration:aerobic and anaerobic. aerobic cellular respiration only takes place when there is a presence of oxygen, while anaerobic or also called as fermentation takes place even w/out oxygen.

What part of cellular respiration can take place without oxygen?
Anaerobic respiration? Glycogen is utilised into glucose plus 6 atoms of phosphate which creates lactic acid (2 ATP). If that is what you were asking.
What following reaction takes place in your muscle cells?
cellular respiration if there is enough oxygen. Lactic Acid fermentation if there is a lack of oxygen.
