Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
In lactic acid fermentation, less than seven per cent of the energy in glucose is released and not all of it is trapped as high energy bonds of ATP because this process involves only glycolysis, not the complete breakdown of glucose through the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.
