Which of the following options does not hold good regarding anaerobic respiration or fermentation ?A. Occurs inside the mitochondriaB. Partial breakdown of glycose occursC. Net gain of only 2 ATP moleculesD. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - A
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.
