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.

How does the efficiency of energy production in anaerobic respiration compare to aerobic respiration?

In anaerobic respiration, the efficiency of energy production is lower compared to aerobic respiration. This is because anaerobic respiration does not fully break down glucose, resulting in the production of less energy in the form of ATP.


Compare cellular respiration and fermentation?

like respiration, fermentation begins in the cytoplasm. Again, as the glucose molecules are broken down, energy is released. But the simple molecules from the break down of glu- cose do not move into the mitochondria!!!


How does the amount of energy resulting from fermentation compare with that of aerobic respiration?

Oh, dude, so like, fermentation is like the lazy cousin of aerobic respiration. It's all like, "I'll just quickly make some ATP without needing oxygen," but it's not very efficient, so it's like the fast food of energy production. Aerobic respiration, on the other hand, is like the fancy gourmet meal that takes longer but gives you way more energy in the end.


Why fermentation gives less energy compare to aerobic respiration?

Fermentation releases less energy than respiration because it does not completely oxidize glucose. Fermentation does not utilize the Kreb Cycle or the electron transport system, leaving it with a gain of just 2 ATP from substrate level phosphorylation.


What are disadvantages of fermentation when compared to the processes aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

The equation for anaerobic respiration is: glucose ---> lactic acid + carbon dioxide + energy To know the disadvantages of anaerobic respiration it is best to compare it to aerobic respiration which involves oxygen (glucose + oxygen ---> carbon dioxide + water + energy) For humans to respire regularly and for long periods of time, oxygen is required. This means that anaerobic respiration through humans causes a lack of oxygen, and cannot be carried out for a very long time. Lactic acid is also produce and this is toxic and causes things such as cramp to build up. Anaerobic respiration also produces very little energy compared to aerobic respiration so is not suitable for every day respiration! Humans will mostly breathe anaerobically in situations such as sprinting in a race.

well ask yourself what does diffusion mean and compare it to cellular respiration and photosynthesis
