RESPIRATION IN ORGANISMS MCQs

Total Questions : 96 | Page 2 of 10 pages
Question 11. Roots take up air
from air spaces present between soil particles.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    breathing
  4.    respiration
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
In plants, each part can independently take in oxygen from the air and give out carbon dioxide. Like all other living cells of the plants, the root cells take up air from the air spaces present between the soil particles.
Question 12. Lactic acid produced during anaerobic respiration can be broken down completely when ________ is supplied.
  1.    carbon dioxide
  2.    water
  3.    glucose
  4.    oxygen
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> oxygen
:
D
During anaerobic respiration, lactic acid is produced. This happens when the demand for energy is more and supply of oxygen is less, mainly during heavy exercise. The lactic acid thus formed is broken down by the supply of oxygen.
Question 13. The process of taking in air from the atmosphere is known as _____________.
  1.    exhalation
  2.    inhalation
  3.    breathing
  4.    respiration
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> inhalation
:
B

  • Inhalation/inspiration is the process of taking in of air through nose and passing it towards the lungs through the trachea (wind pipe).

  • Exhalation/expiration is the process by which, the air is expelled from the body back into the atmosphere.

  • Breathing is a physical process that involves both inhalation and exhalation.

  • Respiration is a chemical process which involves breakdown of glucose into water vapour and carbon dioxide in the presence of oxygen and energy is released in the form of ATP.

Question 14. The breakdown of glucose into carbon dioxide and water in the presence of oxygen with the release of energy is called 
  1.    anaerobic respiration   
  2.    aerobic respiration   
  3.    breathing 
  4.    transpiration   
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> aerobic respiration   
:
B
Cellular respiration or respiration is the process by which cells breakdown glucose to realease energy. Carbon dioxide and waterare alsoreleased in the process. This can happen in the presence or absence of oxygen. When respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen, it is called aerobic respiration. If it happens in the absence of oxygen, it is called anaerobic respiration.
Question 15. The amount of oxygen in the inhaled air is 21% and 0.04% of carbon dioxide. 
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    breathing 
  4.    transpiration   
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
The air which we breathe in and breathe out is not pure oxygen or carbon dioxide respectively. Inhaled airis a mixture of different gases present in the atmosphere. It contains around 78% nitrogen,21% oxygen, 0.04% of carbon dioxide and other gases.
Question 16. Which of the following is a common feature of both aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
  1.    Glucose is broken down in both processes.
  2.    Both occur in absence of oxygen.
  3.    Both occur in presence of oxygen.
  4.    Both release the same amount of energy.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Glucose is broken down in both processes.
:
A
In both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, glucose is broken down to release energy. In aerobic respiration the break down of glucoseoccurs in presence of oxygen and in anaerobic respiration, it occurs in the absence of oxygen.
Question 17. Which structure in the leaves of plants is responsible for exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide?
  1.    Stomata
  2.    Anther 
  3.    Phloem
  4.    Xylem
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Stomata
:
A
Stomata are small pores present on the lower surfaceofgreen leaves of plants. They are responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Excess water is also removed from the plant through the stomata. This process is called transpiration.
Question 18. What is cellular respiration? [1 MARK]
 
 Discuss Question

:
Cellular respirationtakes place in the cells all of organisms. In the cell, glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide and water with the release of energy. All organisms get energy through cellular respiration.
Question 19. Which part of the cell performs respiration? Is this part present in a prokaryote? Name the energy currency of the cell? [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Name of the part: 1 Mark
Statement: 1 Mark
Energy currency: 1 Mark
Mitochondria is the organelle in which cellular respiration takes place.
Prokaryotes are unicellular organism that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, or any other membrane-bound organelle.
The energy currency of cell is ATP (Adenosine tri phosphate).
Question 20. What is breathing? What are the two steps in breathing? [2 MARKS]
 
 Discuss Question

:
Definition: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
Breathing is the process of taking in of oxygen and giving out carbon dioxide with the help of respiratory organs.
It involves two steps - inhalation and exhalation.
