Question

what is the difference between fermentation and cellular respiration? fermentation uses oxygen and cellular respiration doesnt. fermentation does not use oxygen cellular respiration does. fermentation makes less energy than cellular respiration. fermentation makes more energy than cellular respiration does.

Explanation:

To determine the differences between fermentation and cellular respiration, we analyze the key aspects (oxygen usage, energy production) from the given text (after correcting the reversed text):

Step 1: Analyze Oxygen Usage

• Fermentation: From the blue box (corrected: "Fermentation uses oxygen and cellular respiration doesn't" is reversed; the correct reading from the orange and blue boxes shows: Fermentation does not use oxygen (orange box: "does not use oxygen"), while cellular respiration (implied) uses oxygen.
• Cellular Respiration: Uses oxygen (since fermentation is anaerobic, respiration is aerobic).

Step 2: Analyze Energy Production

• Fermentation: From the red box (corrected: "Fermentation makes less energy than cellular respiration"), so it produces less ATP (energy).
• Cellular Respiration: From the green box (corrected: "makes more energy than cellular respiration does" – reversed, so cellular respiration makes more energy than fermentation), producing a large amount of ATP (e.g., 36 - 38 ATP per glucose in aerobic respiration, vs 2 ATP in fermentation).

Step 3: Summarize Differences

Aspect	Fermentation	Cellular Respiration
Energy Production	Produces less energy (e.g., 2 ATP)	Produces more energy (e.g., 36 - 38 ATP)

Answer:

The main differences are:

• Oxygen Usage: Fermentation does not use oxygen (anaerobic), while cellular respiration uses oxygen (aerobic).
• Energy Production: Fermentation produces less energy (e.g., 2 ATP per glucose) than cellular respiration (e.g., 36–38 ATP per glucose).
