Question

In homolactic fermentation 1 mole of glucose yields ........... mole/moles of lactic acid.

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Hint:

Homofermentative pathway:
\[\begin{aligned} 1 \text{ mole Glucose} \rightarrow 2 \text{ moles Lactic Acid} + 2 \text{ ATP} \end{aligned}\] Heterofermentative pathway:
\[\begin{aligned} 1 \text{ mole Glucose} \rightarrow 1 \text{ Lactic Acid} + 1 \text{ Ethanol/Acetate} + 1 \text{ CO}_2 + 1 \text{ ATP} \end{aligned}\]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
