Q. Which of the following options does not hold good regarding anaerobic respiration or fermentation?

Respiration in Plants

Solution:

Fermentation is the incomplete oxidation of glucose under anaerobic conditions by sets of reactions where pyruvic acid is converted to $CO_2$ and ethanol (alcoholic fermentation) or lactic acid (lactic acid fermentation). In fermentation, there is a net gain of only $2\, ATP$ molecules for each molecule of glucose degraded to pyruvic acid.
