Question

Assertion (A): Acetic acid production involves both aerobic and anaerobic processes.

Reason (R): Production of alcohol from glucose is an aerobic process and production of acetic acid from alcohol is an anaerobic process. 

विकल्प

• Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

• Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

• Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.

• Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are false.

Answer 1

Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.

Explanation:

The assertion is true: glucose is first fermented anaerobically to alcohol, which is then oxidised aerobically to acetic acid. The reason reverses the oxygen conditions for both steps.
