Compare ATP production in Fermentation vs Respiration. Short answer if possible.
I have illustrated several points showing differences in fermentation and Respiration.
1)Respiration generates more ATP normally 38 ATP while ATP produced by fermentation is 2 ATP that is many time less as compare to ATP produces by respiration.
2)Respiration (cellular) is aerobic while fermentation is anaerobic.
3)Oxygen is used in respiration while it is not used in fermentation. In fact, fermentation occurs due to absence of oxygen. Respiration involves the usage of enzymes such as glucose.
4)Cellular respiration is more efficient tin in producing ATP as compare to fermentation.
5)Both begin in the cytoplasm but cell respiration continues in mitochondria while fermentation doesn’t utilize doesn’t utilize the mitochondria
