Fermentation | Aerobic respiration | |
I | Partial breakdown of glucose | Complete breakdown of glucose |
II | A net gain of only two molecules of ATP for each molecule of glucose degraded |
Many more molecules of ATP are generated |
III | NADH is oxidised to NAD+ vigorously | NADH is oxidised to NAD+ rather slowly |
