Solution

Aerobic respiration Fermentation
1 Oxygen is used for deriving energy. It occurs in the absence of oxygen.
2 It occurs in the cytoplasm and mitochondria. It occurs in the cytoplasm.
3 End products are carbon dioxide and water. End products are ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide.
4 Complete oxidation of the respiratory substrate takes place. Incomplete oxidation of the respiratory substrate takes place
5 38ATP molecules are produced during aerobic respiration. Only 2 ATP molecules are produced.
