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.

Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
Assertion (A): ATP is used at two steps in glycolysis .
Reason (R): First ATP is used in converting glucose into glocose-6-phosphate and second ATP is used in conversion of fructose-6-phosphate into fructose-1-6-diphosphate.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
1. (A) is False but (R) is True.
2. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
3. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
4. (A) is True but (R) is False.
