Read the following statements and choose the correct option: 1. In respiration it is the energy of oxidation-reduction utilised for the same process. It is for this reason that the process is called oxidative phosphorylation. 2. In fermentation there is a net gain of only two molecules of ATP for each molecule of glucose degraded to pyruvic acid whereas many more molecules of ATP are generated under aerobic condition

Step-by-step solution

Fermentation accounts for only a partial breakdown of glucose whereas in aerobic respiration it is completely degraded to CO2 and H2O. In fermentation there is a net gain of only two molecules of ATP for each molecule of glucose degraded to pyruvic acid whereas many more molecules of ATP are generated under aerobic conditions. NADH is oxidised to NAD+ very slowly in fermentation, however the reaction is very vigorous in case of aerobic respiration., Cytochrome c is a small protein attached to the outer surface of t
