Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Fermentation does not involve an electron transport system, and no ATP is made by the fermentation process directly. Fermenters make very little ATP-only two ATP molecules per glucose molecule during glycolysis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fermentation involves the step of glycolysis in respiration, but it does not go through the Kreb’s cycle or the Electron Transport Chain. Therefore there are only 2 net ATP generated, not the net of 32 that come from cellular respiration.
Detailed explanation-3: -Anaerobic respiration results in the production of 2 ATP molecules.
