|
Aerobic respiration results in more energy.

|
|
Each process results in equal amounts of energy.
|
|
|
Each process results in variable amounts of energy.

Detailed explanation-1: -Aerobic respiration produces more usable chemical energy in the form of ATPs than fermentation because aerobic respiration involves the complete oxidation of glucose and the release of carbon dioxide and water as end products.
Detailed explanation-2: -Summary. Aerobic respiration is far more energy-efficient than anaerobic respiration. Aerobic processes produce up to 38 ATP per glucose. Anaerobic processes yield only 2 ATP per glucose.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fermentation and respiration are metabolic processes producing energy in the form of ATP. The main difference between fermentation and respiration is that, during fermentation, NADH does not go through any process like oxidative phosphorylation to synthesize ATP.
