The end products of fermentation are lactic acid, ethanol, and carbon dioxide. In cellular respiration, the end products are carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (energy).
Both cellular respiration and fermentation involve the breakdown of glucose to produce energy. However, in cellular respiration, the end products are carbon dioxide and water, while in fermentation, the end products can vary depending on the type of fermentation (e.g. lactic acid or ethanol).
Fermentation is a metabolic process that occurs in the absence of oxygen during cellular respiration. It involves the breakdown of glucose to produce ATP and end products such as lactic acid or ethanol. Fermentation helps cells to generate energy when oxygen is limited.
The overall products of respiration are carbon dioxide and water. The overall products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.
Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of cellular respiration and is released during the process.
Cellular respiration and fermentation are both processes that involve the breakdown of glucose to produce energy. They both occur in cells and can occur in the absence of oxygen. However, cellular respiration is more efficient in generating energy compared to fermentation.
