The statements that are false are 3 only.

Explanation:

Alcoholic fermentation can be described as a process in which sugars get converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is produced as a by product of this reaction.

Lactic acid fermentation is a process by which glucose or other sugars having sic carbons get converted into lactate or lactic acid. Carbon dioxide is not released during this process.
