Does fermentation generate energy?


Open in App
Solution

Fermentation :

  1. Fermentation is the chemical process by which molecules such as glucose are broken down anaerobically (non-oxygen-requiring pathway).
  2. An electron transport system is not involved in fermentation, and no ATP is created directly by the fermentation process.
  3. Fermenters make very little ATP, only two ATP molecules per glucose molecule during glycolysis.
  4. Yes, fermentation produces energy as its end product.
  5. Compared to aerobic respiration, fermentation is not as much of an energy-producing process.
