The energy-releasing process in which the substrate is oxidized without an external electron acceptor is called
  1. fermentation
  2. photorespiration
  3. aerobic respiration
  4. glycolysis

Solution

Fermentation is an anaerobic pathway which takes place in certain bacteria and fungi which do not involve electron transport chain. In this process, substrate level phosphorylation takes place in glycolysis producing 2 ATP molecules.
