No. Either cellular repsiration or fermentation can be used to release energy depending on the presence or absense of oxygen. When oxygen is present, it acts as the terminal electron acceptor in cellular repritation, followed by the release of energy When there is no oxygen present, other organic molecules (like lactic acid) accept the terninal electron and energy is generated

How are fermentation and cellular similar?

Both fermentation and cellular respiration release energy from glucose and other food molecules, making them similar in their processes.


What releases more energy fermentation or cellular respiration?

Respiration


What are two ways a cell can get energy from food?

Cells can release energy in two basic processes: Cellular respiration and fermentation. Cellular respiration requires oxygen but fermentation does not. Cellular respiration releases MUCH more usable energy then fermentation does.


What product is common to reactions in the cellular respiration and fermentation?

Glucose is the common product in both cellular respiration and fermentation. It is the carbohydrate molecule that is broken down to release energy in these processes.


What product is common to reactions to cellular respiration and fermentation?

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a common product in both cellular respiration and fermentation. ATP is the energy currency of the cell and is produced during these processes to provide energy for cellular activities.


How are fermentation and cellular respiration similar?

Both fermentation and cellular respiration are metabolic processes that involve breaking down glucose to generate energy in the form of ATP. They both occur in the cytoplasm of cells and involve a series of chemical reactions to produce ATP. However, cellular respiration is more efficient in producing ATP compared to fermentation.


In what ways is fermentation similar to cellular respiration?

Fermentation and cellular respiration are similar in that they both involve the breakdown of molecules to produce energy for cells. However, fermentation does not require oxygen, while cellular respiration does. Both processes also produce waste products, such as lactic acid in fermentation and carbon dioxide in cellular respiration.


What release more energy respiration or fermentation?

Respiration.


Do cells use both respiration and fermentation to release energy?

Yes...Cells do use both Respiration and fermentation to release energy.


How is cellular respiration and fermentation similar?

They both are similar in releasing energy.In cellular respiration food is broken down to cell level and a lot of energy is produced and similarly in fermentation it is described that it is the process of getting energy from oxidation of organic compounds.


Do prokaryotic cells release energy by fermentation or by respiration?
