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.
In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R).
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.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below: 
1. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. 
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect. 
3. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
