No, in terms of how many ATP molecules are made, fermentation is not as efficient as cellular respiration. Fermentation produces two ATP molecules per glucose molecule, while cellular respiration yields 36 ATP molecules. However, fermentation can occur without oxygen, whereas cellular respiration cannot after glycolysis.

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.


Do cells make ethanol as a waste of cellular respiration?

No, ethanol is a byproduct of fermentation...not aerobic or anaerobic respiration


What is a good conclusion for anaerobic respiration?

In conclusion, anaerobic respiration is a vital process for organisms in low oxygen environments, generating energy in the absence of oxygen through fermentation or anaerobic respiration pathways. While less efficient than aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration allows cells to continue producing ATP when oxygen is limited.


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.


What does 'anaerobic respiration is far less efficient than aerobic respiration' mean?

There are two types of cellular respiration: aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic respiration occurs when there is oxygen present. In total, 36 ATP are produced by the end of aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration occurs when there is no oxygen present. In total, just 4 ATP are produced by the end of anaerobic respiration. Thus, aerobic respiration is more efficient in comparison to anaerobic respiration as it yields more ATP

What does it mean if an organism is anaerobic or aerobic, and how does this impact its ability to generate energy?

Organisms that are anaerobic do not require oxygen to generate energy, while aerobic organisms do. Anaerobic organisms can generate energy through processes like fermentation, which is less efficient than aerobic respiration. Aerobic organisms can produce more energy because aerobic respiration is a more efficient process that requires oxygen.


What is the name of the process of resperation that does not require oxygen?

anaerobic respiration there is also fermentation, which is like anaerobic respiration but does not have an electron transport chain


How do bacteria carry out respiration?

Bacterial metabolism is based on anaerobic fermentation not aerobic respiration.


Difference between the two types of respiration?

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to produce energy in the form of ATP, while anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen and produces ATP through fermentation. Aerobic respiration is more efficient and yields more ATP compared to anaerobic respiration.


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.

What distinguishes aerobic from anaerobic respiration?

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to produce energy in the form of ATP, while anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen and produces energy through fermentation. Aerobic respiration is more efficient, producing more ATP molecules than anaerobic respiration.


With out oxygen there is only aerobic respiration?

No. Aerobic respiration is WITH oxygen. ANaerobic is without. Generally anaerobic process is fermentation, but that doesn't produce nearly as much ATP, and is therefore unfavorable for anything big, like people or animals.


Fermentation is less efficient than areobic respiration because fermentation creates less molecules of?

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.


What term refers to the production of energy by a cell without using oxygen?

The process of converting glucose (C6H1206) to energy in the form of ATP is known as anaerobic respiration in humans. The pathway involves glucose as a reactant yielding 2 lactic acids and 2 ATPs.


The Difference of aerobic respiration and unaerobic respiration?

Aerobic Respiration: Respiration that requires oxygen Anaerobic Respiration: respiration that does not use oxygen aerobic respiration is continuous. anaerobic respiration has no new subsrates from photosynthesis to continue. it is usually shorter and not as efficient.


Do cells make ethanol as a waste of cellular respiration?

No, ethanol is a byproduct of fermentation...not aerobic or anaerobic respiration
