During lactic acid fermentation, __________

  1. A \(O _2\) is used, \(CO _2\) is liberated
  2. B neither \(O _2\) is used, nor \(CO _2\) is liberated
  3. C \(O _2\) is used, \(CO _2\) is not liberated
  4. D \(O _2\) is not used, \(CO _2\) is liberated
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) neither \(O _2\) is used, nor \(CO _2\) is liberated

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(B) neither \(O _2\) is used, nor \(CO _2\) is liberated,
During lactic acid fermentation, oxygen is not used, and carbon dioxide is not produced. This anaerobic process converts glucose into lactic acid without the involvement of oxygen or the release of carbon dioxide. Glucose
\(\left( C _6 H _{12} O _6\right) \longrightarrow 2\) Lactic Acid \(\left(2 C _3 H _6 O _3\right)+2\) ATP
