Fermentation Aerobic respiration
A. accounts for only a partial breakdown of glucose glucose is completely degraded to CO2 and H2O
B. there is a net gain of only two molecules of ATP for each molecule of glucose degraded to pyruvic acid there is a net gain of many more molecules of ATP for each molecule of glucose degraded to pyruvic acid
C. NADH is oxidised to NAD+ vigorously NADH is oxidised to NAD+rather slowly
1. Only A
2. Only A and B
3. Only B and C
4. A, B and C

It is possible to make calculations of the net gain of ATP for every glucose molecule oxidised; but in reality this can remain only a theoretical exercise. These calculations can be made only on certain assumptions including all the following except:
1. There is a sequential, orderly pathway functioning, with one substrate forming the next and with glycolysis, TCA cycle and ETS pathway following one after another.
2. The NADH synthesised in glycolysis does not get transferred into the mitochondria and does not undergo oxidative phosphorylation.
3. None of the intermediates in the pathway are utilised to synthesise any other compound.
4. Only glucose is being respired – no other alternative substrates are entering in the pathway at any of the intermediary stages.
