Answer:

Fermentation and cellular respiration are alike in that they both begin with a series or reactions known as glycolysis, which breaks glucose molecules into smaller pyruvate molecules. They are also similar in that during both processes ATP is produced for the cell to use.

Hope it helps.

Answer:

They both harvest energy from sugars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cellular respiration and fermentation are reactions of the energy metabolism of organisms, which aims to obtain energy for metabolic reactions from the breakdown of glucose (sugar) in ATP. ATP keeps in its phosphate bonds energy that will be used in metabolism. This nucleotide is the energy currency of the cell.
