Difference between Glycolysis and Fermentation
GlycolysisFermentation
(i) This process occurs in both Aerobic respiration and Anaerobic respiration.(i) Partial disintegration of glucose occurs in this.
(ii) It occurs in the cytoplasm. In this, when pyruvic acid is formed from glucose molecule, pure 2 molecules of ATP are formed.(ii) This process also takes place in the cytoplasm and during the formation of pyruvic acid from glucose, pure 2 molecules of ATP are formed.
