In which one of the following processes CO2 is not released?

Correct answer: (D) Lactate fermentation. In lactate fermentation (Lactic acid Fermentation) neither CO2 releases nor NADH.H+ forms. In this fermenatation NADH.H+ coenzymes are utilized and cause reduction of pyruvic acid into lactic acid.

Q37 / 180 · NEET 2014 · Botany

In which one of the following processes CO₂ is not released?

A
Aerobic respiration in plants
B
Aerobic respiration in animals
C
Alcoholic fermentation
Correct answer
D
Lactate fermentation

Solution

In lactate fermentation (Lactic acid Fermentation) neither CO₂ releases nor NADH.H⁺ forms. In this fermenatation NADH.H⁺ coenzymes are utilized and cause reduction of pyruvic acid into lactic acid.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
