Question
Distinguish between the following:
Glycolysis and Fermentation
Advertisements
Solution
| Glycolysis | Fermentation | |
| 1. | Glycolysis occurs during aerobic and anaerobic respiration. | Fermentation is a type of anaerobic respiration. |
| 2. | Pyruvic acid is produced as its end product. | Ethanol or lactic acid, is produced as its end product. |
| 3. | It forms 2 APT molecules per gulcose molecule. | It does not produce ATP. |
| 4. | It is the initial stage of respiration that happens without the need for oxygen and is present in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration types. | It's called anaerobic respiration, or respiration without oxygen. |
| 5. | For every glucose molecule, it generates two molecules of NADH. | Usually, it makes use of the NADH generated during glycolysis. |
