Fermentation releases CO 2, but does not make any ATP â all ATP during anaerobic respiration is produced during glycolysis. Since glycolysis produces 2 ATP, anaerobic respiration yields 2 ATP for every molecule of glucose. Both glycolysis and fermentation take place within the cytosol/cytoplasm of a cell.
At the end of anaerobic respiration, there are only two molecules of ATP produced. During aerobic cellular respiration, there are a maximum of 38 molecules of ATP formed. The Process. Aerobic cellular respiration occurs mainly in eukaryotic cells. These are cells that contain a nucleus (brain of the cell) and organelles (little organs that each have their own job inside the cell). The process of aerobic cellular respiration takes place mostly inside of the mitochondria, an organelle that is known as the powerhouse of the cell.
