Explain why fermentation is a highly inefficient process. What will be an ideal response?
Concepts to Consider:Only
part of the fuel (glucose) is oxidized.
It requires a large supply of fuel to perform the same amount of work as if aerobic respiration
(20 times as much glucose).
There is only a net profit of 2 ATPs during fermentation versus the 36-38 produced during
aerobic respiration.
