Questions  

Choose the correct statement with respect to respiration.

a
Fermentation shows the oxidation of NADH+H+
b
Anaerobic breakdown of pyruvic acid has substrate level phosphorylation reaction.
c
In fermentation alcohol is formed due to reduction of Pyruvic acid without decarboxylation.
d
Alcohol fermentation has oxidative decarboxylation reaction.

detailed solution

Correct option is A

In fermentation by lactic acid bacteria and in the skeletal muscle cells of man, pyrivic acid is reduced to lactic acid due to oxidation of glycolytic NADH+H+. In alcohol fermentation as seen in yeast, acetaldehyde is reduced to alcohol by using glycolytic NADH+
