Question

Consider the following two statements and select the correct option
Statement I: Fermentation accounts for only a partial breakdown of glucose whereas in aerobic respiration glucose is completely degraded to $CO_{2}$ and $H_{2}O$
Statement II: $NADH$ is oxidised to $NAD^{+}$ rather slowly in aerobic respiration, however the reaction is very vigorous in case of fermentation

• A. Both statements I and II are correct and II explains I
• B. Both statements I and II are correct and II does not explain I
• C. Statement I is true and statement II is false
• D. Both statements I and II are false

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$•$ Fermentation accounts for only a partial breakdown of glucose whereas in aerobic respiration it is completely degraded to $CO_{21}$ and $H_{2}O$
$•$ $NADH$ is oxidised to $NAD^{+}$ rather slowly in fermentation, however the reaction is very vigorous in case of aerobic respiration
