KCET · BIOLOGY · STD 11 - 12. Respiration in Plants

Select a suitable name for the following process

A Alcoholic fermentation
B Photorespiration
C Lactate fermentation
D Aerobic respiration

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Alcoholic fermentation

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) Alcoholic fermentation,
The equation provided represents the process of alcoholic fermentation, where glucose \(\left( C _6 H _{12} O _6\right)\) is converted into ethanol ( \(C _2 H _5 OH\) ), carbon dioxide ( \(CO _2\) ), and a small amount of ATP. This anaerobic process occurs in yeast and some bacteria, producing alcohol and \(CO _2\) as byproducts.

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.
