Identify the correct statement about fermentation.

Show Hint

Fermentation = no oxygen, low ATP, partial glucose breakdown.
Updated On: May 12, 2025
  • Glucose breakdown completely.
  • Net gain of energy is 2 ATP and 1 $NADH_{2}$
  • $O_{2}$ is required.
  • An anaerobic reaction.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Fermentation is an anaerobic process occurring in the absence of oxygen. It results in partial breakdown of glucose and yields only 2 ATP per molecule. Oxygen is not required, and NADH is used in the process rather than produced in net gain.
