Q. The energy-releasing metabolic process in which substrate is oxidized without an external electron acceptor, is called
A) glycolysis
B) Fermentation
C) Aerobic respiration
D) Photorespiration
Explanation
In fermentation, the incomplete oxidation of glucose is achieved under, anaerobic condition by set of reactions, where pyruvic acid is converted into carbon dioxide and ethanol. The enzyme, pyruvic acid decarboxylase and alcohol Dehydrogenase catalyse these reactions.
