alleryIn fermentation, what proportion of the energy in glucose is released?
AUnder seventeen per cent
BUnder seventy five per cent
CUnder seven per cent
DUnder seventy per cent
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Under seven per cent
1. Fermentation only partly oxidises the glucose.
2. Most of the energy stays locked in the products.
3. Less than seven per cent of the energy in glucose is released in fermentation.
4. So the answer is under seven per cent.
