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.
1. In cellular respiration, aerobic respiration yields 38 ATP while fermentation yields only 2. 2. In food processing, fermentation is usually an anaerobic type of respiration that converts sugars into alcohol without the involvement of oxygen. 3. Aerobic respiration is a biologic process that involves oxygen.
