Viruses do not perform aerobic respiration or fermentation because they lack the cellular machinery necessary for metabolic processes. Instead, viruses rely on host cells to replicate and produce new viral particles. They infect host cells and hijack the host's biochemical pathways for their own reproduction, but they do not carry out metabolic processes themselves.

Aerobic respiration involves what?

fermentation


What molecule is needed for aerobic respiration but not for fermentation?

Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration but not for fermentation. Aerobic respiration utilizes oxygen as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain to produce ATP, while fermentation produces ATP without using oxygen by fermenting sugars into organic molecules like ethanol or lactic acid.


How is fermentation diffrent than aerobic respiration?

Fermentation is an anaerobic process that produces ATP without the use of oxygen, while aerobic respiration is an aerobic process that generates ATP using oxygen. Fermentation produces lactic acid or alcohol as byproducts, while aerobic respiration produces carbon dioxide and water. Fermentation is less efficient in terms of ATP production compared to aerobic respiration.


What is another name for cellular respiration?

Tissue respiration, or internal respiration. you are probably looking for aerobic respiration


How do bacteria carry out respiration?

Bacterial metabolism is based on anaerobic fermentation not aerobic respiration.


What liberates the most energy in the form of ATP?

Aerobic respiration liberates the most energy in the form of ATP compared to other cellular processes like anaerobic respiration and fermentation.


Is it false that the energy yield in aerobic respiration is far less than that which results from fermentation?

No, it is false. Aerobic respiration produces much more energy (in the form of ATP) compared to fermentation. This is because aerobic respiration involves the complete breakdown of glucose, while fermentation only partially breaks down glucose.


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.


Which releases more energy aerobic or cellular?

That's not a full question, but I think I know what you are asking. Aerobic respiration > anaerobic respiration > fermentation.


Fermentation creates less ATP than?

Aerobic respiration. Fermentation produces a net gain of 2 ATP per glucose molecule, while aerobic respiration produces a net gain of 36-38 ATP per glucose molecule. This is due to the incomplete breakdown of glucose and the absence of an electron transport chain in fermentation.


What is fermentation the opposite of?

There is no opposite or reverse reaction, but fermentation is an anaerobic process, one not requiring oxygen. The aerobic equivalent would be respiration (oxidation).


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)
