What amount of energy is released from glucose during lactic acid fermentation? [2022]
Approximately 15%
More than 18%
About 10%
Less than 7%
(4)
Less than seven percent of the energy in glucose is released from lactic acid fermentation and moreover not all of it is stored as ATP.
In which one of the following processes is not released? [2014]
Aerobic respiration in plants
Aerobic respiration in animals
Alcoholic fermentation
Lactate fermentation
(4)
Anaerobic respiration or fermentation can be of two types, i.e., lactate fermentation and ethanol fermentation. Lactate fermentation produces lactic acid only as pyruvic acid produced in glycolysis is directly reduced by NADH to form lactic acid and no is produced. Alcoholic (ethanol) fermentation involves conversion of pyruvate to acetaldehyde, hence, is released.
