What is Aerobic Respiration?
Aerobic respiration is the main means by which both plants and animals utilize energy in the form of organic compounds that was previously created through photosynthesis

Fermentation allows for the oxidation of NADP and FADH2 which allows the Citric Acid Cycle to continue (without oxygen present).
Aerobic respiration is just with oxygen. The oxygen acts as the oxidizing factor in this case. This produces more ATP than with fermentation.

FERMENTATION IS WHEN YEAST TURNS SUGAR INTO ALCOHOL THROUGH ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION (WITHOUT OXYGEN). THIS IS HOW PEOPLE MAKE ALCOHOL.
THE PURPOSE OF AEROBIC RESPIRATION IS TO GET ENERGY FROM GLUCOSE IN THE PRESENCE OF OXYGEN.

Aerobic and anaerobic refer to respiration. Aerobic means with oxygen and anaerobic means without oxygen. When fermentation occurs, it is anaerobic, which means without oxygen. Yeast cells do this in the presence of sugar, they anaerobically respire giving off carbon dioxide and alcohol.
If your talking biologically and your answer does not include microbial metabolism, there are several advantages. First, with oxygen pathways, the oxidized ATP energy molecule is worth 20 TIMES AS MUCH, over 600 kilocalories worth! Producing energy with the lactic acid pathway makes you only 6.9% of what you could produce with oxygen.
In otherwords, the ATP you get through Aerobic Respiration is what keeps us alive. The body couldn’t survive on anaerobic respiration for long as the brain would be deprived of glucose, the body of ATP, and the lactic acid build up would cause the pH of the blood to drop to acidic – Ketone Bodies.
Another reason that aerobic respiration is favored is due to it ability to release CO2, which keeps the pH of the blood roughly around 7.4.

Answer: to make energy for the cell (ATP or cellular energy)
Explanation:
Fermentation is making energy for the cell when their is no oxygen (glucose is still broken down to release ATP but not very much ATP).
Aerobic respiration is making for the cell in the presence of oxygen (glucose is broken down releasing much more ATP)
Fermentation can be done by yeast and bacteria, usually called alcohol fermentation because carbon dioxide and alcohol are produced as waste products.
Fermentation can also be done in our cells, this is called lactic acid fermentation because carbon dioxide and lactic acid is produced. The lactic acid can build up when you are heavily exercising, causing that burning feeling in your muscles.
