1) The document compares and contrasts the cell cycle and cell division processes between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotes undergo binary fission for cell division while eukaryotes undergo the mitosis and cytokinesis stages of the cell cycle.
2) It explains that fermentation produces less ATP than cellular respiration. When oxygen is limited, cells must rely more on fermentation which requires more food to be consumed to produce the same amount of energy as cellular respiration.
3) The document reviews concepts about the cell cycle, cell division, fermentation and cellular respiration in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Since fermentation is happening because of the
lack of oxygen (because cellular respiration
happens when there is lots of oxygen), there
will be less ATP produced (because cellular
respiration creates lots of ATP and fermentation
only produces a little ATP) and more food
will be needed by the cells.
