why is cellular respiration necessary for living organisms? why is fermentation less effective than respiration? what is the purpose of glycolysis? how many atp molecules are produced in aerobic respiration? how many atp molecules are produced during fermentation and glycolysis?

Step-by-step explanation:

>cellular respiration allows for organisms to break down molecules in order to release the energy stores in the bonds to generate atp which the cell can then use for it's normal processea

>fermentation produces relatively less energy than respiration because fermentation does not result in the complete oxidation of glucose.

>1 breaks down glucose

2 extract energy for cellular metabolism

3 to provide private for the trichloroacetic. acid(TCA) cycle

4 reduce the curtail by increasing the ratio of NADH

>38 atp molecules

>2 atp molecules
