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.
