ATP or adenosine triphosphate provides the energy for the cells. Aerobic respiration is more efficient because it produces 32 ATP, while fermentation only produces 2 ATP.
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.
There are many ways to product ATP. The most efficient way to produce ATP is Aerobic respiration, this produces 34 ATP molecules.
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.
Produces far less energy than aerobic respiration. That's the main difference.
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.
what molecule is needed for aerobic respiration but not for fermentation
fermentation
ATP or adenosine triphosphate provides the energy for the cells. Aerobic respiration is more efficient because it produces 32 ATP, while fermentation only produces 2 ATP.
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.
Aerobic respiration is the type of cellular respiration that requires oxygen. This process involves the release of glucose for energy.Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to be present because it is the final electron acceptor at the end of the electron transport chain. If it is not present, then the electron can not go through the chain and fermentation will cycle instead. Fermentation is much more inefficient in producing ATP (a differenence of 32 ATP).
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.
aerobic respiration and possibly lactic acid fermentation
There are many ways to product ATP. The most efficient way to produce ATP is Aerobic respiration, this produces 34 ATP molecules.
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.
Because anaerobic respiration releases less energy than 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.
