No, Respiration releases more energy than fermentation. i read it in my science book dont know why though

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.


How do you produce energy without oxygen?

They use anaerobic fermentation to release energy for cell use. Anaerobic fermentation breaks down glucose (sugar) just like aerobic respiration (which requires oxygen) but does not need oxygen. The drawback is that there is a much smaller yield of usable energy than aerobic respiration. You get much less energy per molecule of sugar. Also the molecule of glucose is not completely broken down like it is in aerobic respiration. Fermentation breaks down a six carbon glucose molecule into shorter molecules of alcohols or acids such as ethyl alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide. This is how yeast makes bread dough rise - the yeast use fermentation to break down sugar for energy, the waste product carbon dioxide forms bubbles in the gluten matrix and the bread rises! It also produces alcohol which is why bread smells sort of beery when it starts to bake. Or you can skip the baking add more water and let the yeast make beer!


What process produces more energy-the anaerobic pathway or the aerobic pathway?

The aerobic pathway produces more energy than the anaerobic pathway. Aerobic respiration generates a much higher yield of ATP molecules from glucose compared to anaerobic fermentation. Anaerobic metabolism is a less efficient process that produces ATP without the use of oxygen.


Why does glucose have more potential energy than water?

Glucose has more potential energy than water because it is a complex molecule with multiple chemical bonds that can be broken to release energy. Water, on the other hand, is a simple molecule with stable bonds that do not contain much potential energy. The energy stored in the chemical bonds of glucose can be released through processes like cellular respiration to fuel biological reactions.


How much more energy does glucose store than ATP?

Glucose stores about 15 times more energy than ATP. Glucose is a larger molecule that can be broken down through cellular respiration to produce more ATP molecules as an energy source for the cell.

Does fermentation or respiration release more energy for an athlete's muscles?

Respiration releases more energy for an athlete's muscles compared to fermentation. Respiration is a more efficient process that produces more ATP (energy currency of the cell) per molecule of glucose than fermentation. This allows athletes to sustain high-intensity activities for longer periods of time.


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 is the difference between respiration to fermentation?

Respiration is the process where cells break down glucose in the presence of oxygen to produce energy, while fermentation is the process where cells break down glucose in the absence of oxygen to produce energy. Respiration produces more energy (ATP) compared to fermentation and is more efficient. Fermentation produces byproducts such as lactic acid or ethanol, while respiration produces carbon dioxide and water.


Does fermentation produce more energy per glucose than cellular respiration?

No.


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.


Would yeast cells grow more rapidly in fermentation or cell respiration?

Yeast cells would grow more rapidly in fermentation than in cell respiration. In fermentation, yeast cells can generate energy more quickly by converting sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide, allowing for faster growth. In contrast, cell respiration is a slower process that requires oxygen and produces energy more efficiently but at a slower rate.


Does fermentation or cellular respiration would yeast cells grow more rapidly with?

Yeast cells would grow more rapidly with fermentation, as it is a simpler process that generates energy quicker compared to cellular respiration. Fermentation allows yeast cells to quickly convert sugars into energy without the need for oxygen, making it a more efficient process for rapid growth.


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.


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.
