Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): During oxidation within a cell, all the energy contained in respiratory substrates is released free into the cell, in a single step. 
Reason (R): The energy released by oxidation in respiration is not (or rather cannot be) used directly but is used to synthesise ATP.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. (A) is False but (R) is True.

Correct comparisons between fermentation and aerobic respiration will include:
I: Fermentation accounts for only a partial breakdown of glucose, whereas in aerobic respiration, it is completely degraded to CO2 and H2O.
II: In fermentation, there is a net gain of only two molecules of ATP for each molecule of glucose degraded to pyruvic acid, whereas many more molecules of ATP are generated under aerobic conditions.
III: NADH is oxidised to NAD+ rather slowly in fermentation, however, the reaction is very vigorous in case of aerobic respiration.
1. Only I and II
2. Only I and III
3. Only II and III
4. I, II and III
