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.

Breaking down food for energy without using oxygen is?
Anaerobic cellular metabolism/respiration.Oxygen is used as the ultimate electron acceptors in the electron transport chain which produces a proton gradient for the chemiosmosis (ATP formation). Certain organisms use nitrate or sulfate instead of oxygen. Fermentation is an example of anaerobic respiration.
What is the difference of fermentation and decomposition?
Decomposition uses cellular respiration to break down dead plant matter--this means that oxygen is involved in the process. Fermentation is another word for anaerobic decomposition, which occurs without oxygen.
Which stage of cellular respiration produces the least ATP?
Glycolysis or the anaerobic respiration make the least ATP in the stages of cellular respiration.
What does it mean to say that glycolysis is an aerobic process?
Cellular respiration sometimes is referred to as aerobic respiration, meaning that it occurs in the presence of oxygen, and is not an anaerobic process. Glycolysis is one of the processes in cellular respiration. In the final steps of glycolysis, two hydrogen atoms are removed from each three-carbon compound by bonding to free-floating oxygen atoms in the cytoplasm to form water.
The difference between cellular respiration and fermintation?
callular respiration breaks down food with oxygen and fermentation breaks down food with out using oxygen
Which set of pairings correctly matches the process with its condition?
cellular respiration: anaerobic:: fermentation :anaerobic
Which set pairing correctly matches the process with its conditions?
cellular respiration,aerobic:fermentation,anaerobic
Is a biochemical pathway of cellular respiration that is anaerobic?
Fermentation
What terminal electron acceptors are used in anaerobic cellular respiration?
anaerobic cellular respiration has 3 different stages, and their final electron acceptors are: pyruvate oxidation- NAD+ Krebs cycle- NAD+, FAD+ electron transport chain- Oxygen
What is the name for cellular respiration when it doesn't have oxygen?
anaerobic fermentation
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)
What process occurs if oxygen is not available?
If oxygen is absent in cellular respiration, then you go to anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration that still uses the electron transport chain., but without oxygen.
What is the difference between respiration to fermentation?
Respiration uses oxygen, fermentation doesn't.
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.
Do cells make ethanol as a waste of cellular respiration?
No, ethanol is a byproduct of fermentation...not aerobic or anaerobic respiration
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.
How does respiration differ from cellular respiration?
fermentation is entirely anaerobic wheras cellular respiration only has 1 out of 3 stages that is anaerobic, the other 2 being aerobic (need oxygen to carry out rweactions. from this you can tell what anaerobic must mean:) i hope this helps:D
