differences between difference between respiration and fermentation?

Question

any one have any good ones?

Answer 1

to further the explanation given by the first individual, fermentation happens outside the mitochondria because O2 isn't present. Glucose is broken down to Pyruvate and then gets further broken down to lactic acid. There are a total of 2 ATP's created at the end. This is the substrate level.

If O2 is present, the pyruvate goes into the mitochondria where it enters the Krebs cycle and the rest of cellular respiration. At the end of this there is a total of 32 (some textbooks suggest 36) total units of ATP created.

Answer 2

Fermentation is a process in which cells perform to produce energy solely by substrate-level phosphorylation. This is when oxygen is not present throughout the whole process but can still be able to produce energy.

Respiration requires oxygen to produce energy.

Answer 3

fermentaion is when something expands and leaves something back, like a pain when you run to hard and you're legs dont get enough oxygen. Yeast is also a type of fermentation, LAtic fermentation is the running, and alcoholic is yeast, where it releases alchol. Resperation is when your cells use oxygen to create energy, and fermentation in better terms is when you're cells use energy.

Answer 4

THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF CELLULAR RESPIRATION: AEROBIC (PRESENCE OF OXYGEN) AND ANAEROBIC (ABSENCE OF OXYGEN) RESPIRATION OR FERMENTATION.

Because they operated in the Absence of Oxygen, the FERMENTATION PATHWAYS are said to be ANAEROBIC PATHWAYS.

If OXYGEN is PRESENT, the products of Glycolysis ENTER the PATHWAYS of AEROBIC RESPIRATION.

Aerobic Respiration produces a much Larger Amount of ATP, UP TO 20 TIMES MORE ATP PRODUCED.
