What purpose does fermentation serve?
1. Release of more than fifty per cent of the energy in glucose.
2. Traps energy released by incomplete oxidation of glucose as high energy bonds of ATP.
3. Regeneration of NAD+.
4. Production of highly useful acid or alcohol.

How many of the given statements regarding Mitochondrial Electron Transport System (ETS) and Oxidative Phosphorylation are correct?
I: Ubiquinone receives reducing equivalents via FADH2 (complex II) and NADH dehydrogenase (complex I).
II: The reduced ubiquinone (ubiquinol) is then oxidised with the transfer of electrons to cytochrome c via cytochrome bc1 complex (complex III).
III: Cytochrome c is a small protein attached to the inner surface of the outer membrane.
IV: Complex IV contains cytochromes a and a3, and two copper centres.
V: Oxygen acts as the final hydrogen acceptor.
