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, besides the production of atp?

Aerobic respiration, a process that uses oxygen, and anaerobic respiration, a process thatdoesn't use oxygen, are two forms of cellular respiration. Although some cells may engage in just one type of respiration, most cells use both types, depending on an organism's needs. Cellular respiration also occurs outside of macro-organisms, as chemical processes — for example, in fermentation. In general, respiration is used to eliminate waste products and generate energy.
