1.	(i) What term is given to the process in yeast where incomplete oxidation of glucose takes place under anaerobic condition? (ii) In which cycle does the complete oxidation of pyruvate takes place. (iii) Explain why the synthesis of ATP through ETS is called oxidative phosphorylation?
Answer» (i) Fermentation (ii) Kreb's cycle (iii) During oxidation a considerable amount of energy is released in graded sequence. The energy so released is utilized by F₁particle for the synthesis of ATP molecule from ADP. The synthesis of ATP during oxidation of coenzymes is called oxidative phosphorylation. The F₁ particles contain 3 coupling factors and ATPase enzyme for the synthesis of ATP. Oxidation of one molecule of reduced coenzyme (NADH₂) results in the formation of 3 ATP molecules while oxidation of FADH₂ leads to the synthesis of 2 ATP molecules.
