Question

Which of the following is incorrect about fermentation?

• A. In account for partial breakdown of glucose
• B. Net gain is only 2 ATP
• C. NADH to NAD+ formation reaction is vigorous
• D. It occurs in cytoplasm

Answer 1

The correct option is C NADH to NAD+ formation reaction is vigorous

Fermentation is the partial breakdown of sugar in the absence of oxygen in cytoplasm.

During the fermentation 2 ATP is produced as net gain.

$NADH$ to $NA{D}^{+}$ formation during the fermentation is slow whereas during aerobic respiration it is vigorous.
