Question

Statement I : Two ATP molecules are produced during anaerobic respiration.

Statement II : Glucose is converted into pyruvic acid through a series of reaction with a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.

(a) Both the statements are individually true and the statement II is the correct explanation of the statement I

(b) Both the statements are individually true, but the statement II is not correct explanation of the statement I

(c) The statement I is true, but the statement II is false

(d) The statement I is false, but the statement II is true

Answer 1

(c) The statement I is true, but the statement II is false

Two ATP molecules are produced during anaerobic conditions, e.g. fermentation, but during glycolysis (conversion of glucose into pyruvic acid) net gain of ATPs is 4 molecules.
