Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that aerobic respiration produces more ATP than fermentation?

Yes. Multiple textbooks and reference sources state that aerobic respiration yields substantially more ATP per glucose molecule than fermentation, with one textbook quantifying roughly 16 times more. A few sources describe respiration's higher ATP yield without a direct comparison.
