When the parts of the whole work or fit together well, they are cohesive, like a cohesive family whose members pitch in with everything from making dinner to painting the house. The adjective cohesive comes from the Latin word cohaerere, or âto cleave together.â Cohesive things stick together, so they are unified. A cohesive neighborhood's members get together to plan things like block parties, and they work together to solve problems.
Fermentation refers to catabolic processes where organic molecules, such as sugars or amino acids, are broken down to produce energy without the use of a membrane-bound electrâ¦on transport chain. Depending upon the organism, fermentation can occur in the presence (aerobic) and/or in the absence (anaerobic) of oxygen.
â¢ Fermentation is present in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, but not anaerobic respiration. â¢ Fermentation is used as a commercialized process but not the anaerobic respiration. â¢ Alcohol and lactic acid are main waste products of fermentation but not always in anaerobic respiration.
