Both aerobic cellular respiration and lactic acid fermentation produce ATP, though in different amounts. These two ATP-producing
processes have some major differences as well as some similarities. What do aerobic respiration and lactic acid fermentation have IN COMMON? A) They produce a sour taste. B) ATP production begins with glucose. C) They require an electron transport system. D) Pyruvate serves as the final electron acceptor.
Both aerobic cellular respiration and lactic acid fermentation is oxidative process which begin with glucose. Both these metabolic processes begins in the cytoplasm of the cell and undergo a series of reactions called glycolysis. During glycolysis one molecule of glucose is converted into two molecules of pyruvic acid. ATP is produced during both processes.
