Question

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

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. Analyze the oxygen usage: Fermentation is an anaerobic process (does not use oxygen), while cellular respiration (aerobic respiration) uses oxygen. The blue option has the oxygen usage reversed, so it's incorrect.
  2. Analyze energy production: Fermentation (e.g., glycolysis followed by fermentation) produces a small amount of ATP (2 per glucose), while aerobic cellular respiration produces a large amount (30 - 32 per glucose). So the green option is incorrect as it says fermentation makes more energy, and the red option is correct in stating fermentation makes less energy than cellular respiration. Also, the orange option is correct about oxygen usage (fermentation: no oxygen; cellular respiration: uses oxygen).

Answer:

Orange: Fermentation does not use oxygen and cellular respiration does.
Red: Fermentation makes less energy than cellular respiration.
