Aerobic respiration produces more usable chemical energy than fermentation, because fermentation involves
Options
(a) Formation of lactic acid
(b) Complete oxidation of food
(c) Partial oxidation of food
(d) Evolution of CO₂ and alcohol
Correct Answer:
Partial oxidation of food
Explanation:
During aerobic respiration complete oxidation of food takes place. Thus during it a glucose molecule produce 36 ATP while during fermentaion the food id oxidise partially and instead of CO₂+H₂O formation it results in formation of ethyl alcohol and water with net production of 2ATP.
