Fermentation results in the production of energy in the form of two ATP molecules, and produces less energy than the aerobic process of cellular respiration . The other end products of fermentation differ depending on the organism.

In yeast and most plant cells, fermentation produces ethyl alcohol, carbon dioxide, and water.
