Fermentation is different from aerobic respiration in many ways.
Fermentation produces NAD+, either lactic acid or ethanol, and carbon dioxide (in alcoholic fermentation).
Fermentation does not have the final electron acceptor, which is found in the ETC (electron transport chain) of aerobic respiration. The only ATP yield fermentation has is from glycolysis.
Phosphorylation is the addition of a phosphate group to, in this case, ADP to make ATP. Only the glycolysis portion of fermentation does this. In aerobic respiration, the Krebs cycle and ETC does this.
