Question

  1. compare what is one difference between cellular respiration and fermentation?

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Cellular respiration requires oxygen (aerobic process) and occurs in mitochondria, producing a large amount of ATP. Fermentation is anaerobic (no oxygen needed), occurs in the cytoplasm, and produces much less ATP.

Answer:

One difference is that cellular respiration is an aerobic process (requires oxygen) and occurs in mitochondria, generating a large amount of ATP (up to 38 ATP per glucose molecule). Fermentation is an anaerobic process (no oxygen required), occurs in the cytoplasm, and generates a small amount of ATP (2 ATP per glucose molecule).
