A: | Glycolysis is the first common step of both aerobic as well as anaerobic respiration. |
R: | 1 molecule of hexose sugar is converted into molecules of pyruvic acid in the absence or presence of oxygen in glycolysis. |
1. | If both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (1). |
2. | If both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (2). |
3. | If Assertion is a true statement but the Reason is false, then mark (3). |
4. | If both Assertion and Reason are false statements, then mark (4). |
Statement I: | In fermentation, there is a net gain of 12 molecules of ATP for each molecule of glucose degraded to pyruvic acid whereas only 2 molecules of ATP are generated under aerobic conditions. |
Statement II: | Fermentation accounts for only a partial breakdown of glucose whereas in aerobic respiration it is completely degraded to CO2 and H2O. |
Statement I: | The first five reactions of glycolytic pathway convert a molecule of glucose into 2 molecules of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. |
Statement II: | The final product of glycolysis is pyruvate in aerobic settings and lactate in anaerobic conditions. |
