Question

. Why does fermentation yield less energy than aerobic respiration?

Answer 1

Explanation:

because fermentation is an anaerobic respiration

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Fermentation yields less energy than aerobic respiration because -

• In fermentation, glucose breakdown is incomplete, so less energy is released.
• In aerobic respiration, complete breakdown of glucose takes place, therefore more energy is released.
• Aerobic respiration releases 38 ATPs, which is 19 times greater than 2 ATPs that are released during fermentation.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
