Show Hint

Fermentation is "low energy" and happens without oxygen (anaerobic).
Updated On: Jun 10, 2026
  • In alcohol fermentation more than seven percent of the energy in glucose is released
  • Fermentation takes place under anaerobic condition in many prokaryotes
  • NADH is oxidized to $NAD^{+}$ very vigorously in fermentation

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Concept
Cellular respiration and fermentation.

Step 2: Analysis
(A) Incorrect: Less than 7 (B) Correct: Fermentation occurs under anaerobic conditions in many prokaryotes and unicellular eukaryotes. (C) Incorrect: NADH oxidation is not considered "vigorous" compared to aerobic respiration. (D) Incorrect: ATP synthase is typically distinct from complex IV in the ETC.

Step 3: Conclusion
Statement (B) is accurate.
