Question
Chapter 11.8, Problem 5CC
Summary Introduction
The fermentation process yields less ATP when compared to the aerobic respiration. Since, the fermentation process lacks electron transport chain to carry the terminal electron to generate proton motive force. The fermentation is considered to be a
