Differences between respiration and fermentation

In this video I will explain the difference between respiration and fermentation.

We remember that cellular respiration it is a fundamental process of the catabolism of any prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell. The objective is to obtain energy through the degradation of complex compounds transforming them into simpler and low-energy compounds.

The cell fermentation it is a very important process for cells. It is a process that always occurs under anaerobic conditions, and shares together with cellular respiration, the function of degrading complex products or molecules into simpler ones to obtain Energy.

The differential key of these two processes is whether or not the chain of electron transport.

• Breathing: Yes
• Fermentation: No

In the video you will see the other differences of these two processes.

You will be able to understand better the difference between respiration and fermentation. In addition, if you are not sure you can continue practicing with problems of this type you can do the printable exercises with their solutions that I have left you on the web. Good luck in your studies!
