The energy-releasing metabolic process in which substrate is oxidised without an external electron acceptor is called

  1. glycolysis
  2. fermentation
  3. aerobic respiration
  4. photorespiration

Answer

(2) fermentation

Solution

In aerobic respiration oxygen acts as the final (external) electron acceptor.

As per NCERT, in fermentation (e.g., by yeast) the incomplete oxidation of glucose is achieved under anaerobic conditions, and NADH + H+ is reoxidised to NAD+ by the organic products of the same pathway (pyruvic acid or acetaldehyde).

⇒ Pyruvic acid is reduced to lactic acid, or acetaldehyde to ethanol; no external acceptor is needed.

∴ The process is fermentation.

The chemiosmotic coupling hypothesis of oxidative phosphorylation proposes that adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is formed because

  1. a proton gradient forms across the inner membrane
  2. there is a change in the permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane toward adenosine diphosphate (ADP)
  3. high energy bonds are formed in mitochondrial proteins
  4. ADP is pumped out of the matrix into the intermembrane space
