Question 51. The cellular respiration starts in the _____.

  2.    Golgi bodies
  3.    ER
  4.    Lysosomes
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Cytoplasm
:
A
The cellular respiration starts with the glycolytic pathway. It is a common pathway for both aerobic and anaerobic respiration and it takes placein the cytoplasm.
Question 52. Incomplete breakdown of sugar in anaerobic respiration forms ____.
  1.    Glucose and carbon dioxide
  2.    Alcohol and carbon dioxide
  3.    Water and carbon dioxide
  4.    Fructose and water
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Alcohol and carbon dioxide
:
B
Incomplete breakdown of sugar in anaerobic respiration forms alcohol and carbon dioxide.
Question 53. Conversion of phosphoenol pyruvic acid to pyruvic acid and ADP to ATP are examples of _______.
  1.    Photophosphorylation
  2.    Oxidative phosphorylation
  3.    Photoelectric phosphorylation
  4.    Substrate level phosphorylation
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Substrate level phosphorylation
:
D
PEP+ADPpyruvicacid+ATP
During the conversion of phophoenol pyruvate (PEP) to pyruvic acid, the phosphate group from PEP is transferred to ADP. Therefore it is substrate level phosphorylatron. In oxidative phophorylation, the electrons from high energy carirer travel along an ETC, and finally to an external electron acceptor, that is oxygen. The energy from this process is used to synthesize ATP. Hence known as the oxidative phosphorylation.
Question 54. The intermediate compound that is common for aerobic and anaerobic respiration is _______.
  1.    Citric acid
  2.    Pyruvic acid
  3.    Acetyl Co-A
  4.    Succinic acid
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Pyruvic acid
:
B
Pyruvic acid is an intermediate compound common for aerobic and anaerobic respiration because it is the end product in glycolysis and initial product in anaerobic respiration. Glycolysis is a pathway that is common for both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Question 55. The following is a simplified diagram showing the fate of glucose during aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Identify the end products that are formed at stages indicated A, B, C and D. Identify the correct option from those given below. The Following Is A Simplified Diagram Showing The Fate Of Gl...  
  1.    A - Carbon dioxide and water, B - Pyruvic acid, C - Ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide, D - Lactic acid
  2.    A - Pyruvic acid, B - Carbon dioxide and water, C - Lactic acid and carbon dioxide, D - Ethyl alcohol
  3.    A – Pyruvic acid, B - Carbon dioxide and water, C - Ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide, D - Lactic acid
  4.    A - Pyruvic acid, B - Ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide, C - Lactic acid, D - Carbon dioxide and water
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> A – Pyruvic acid, B - Carbon dioxide and water, C - Ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide, D - Lactic acid
:
C
The product of glycolysis is A. pyruvic acid, the pyruvate formed enters the Kreb's cycle in aerobic respiration and the products of Kreb’s cycle are CO2 and water. Therefore B. is carbon dioxide and water. In the absence of oxygen the glycolytic product pyruvate enters the anaerobic pathway, it then undergoes fermentation to form either ethylalcohol or lactic acid. Formation of ethylalcohol is accompanied by formation of carbon dioxide. Therefore C. is ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide and D. is lactic acid.
Question 56. In the electron transport system present in the inner mitochondrial membrane, complexes I and IV respectively are ______.
  1.    NADH dehydrogenase and FADH2
  2.    NADH2 and NADH dehydrogenase
  3.    NADH dehydrogenase and cytochrome – c oxidase complex
  4.    NADH dehydrogenase and ATP synthase
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> NADH dehydrogenase and cytochrome – c oxidase complex
:
C
Complex 1 of electron transport chain (ETS) is NADH dehydrogenase, which oxidises NADH produced in the mitochondrial matrix during citric acid cycle. Complex IV of ETS refers to cytochrome oxidase complex containing cytochrome-aanda3and two copper centres.
Question 57. Four respiratory enzymes are given below. Arrange them in the increasing order of carbon numbers of their substrates.
I. Enolase, II. Aconitase, III. Fumarase, IV. Alcohol dehydrogenase
  1.    II, IV, III, I
  2.    IV, I, II, III
  3.    I, IV, III, II
  4.    IV, I, III, II
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> IV, I, III, II
:
D
Enolase works on 2-phosphoglyceric acid (3C compound) to form phosphoenolpyruvate in the glycolysis pathway, aconitase on citric acid (6C compound), fumarase on fumaric acid (4C compound) and alcohol dehydrogenase on acetaldehyde (2C-compound). Thus, increasing order of these enzymes based on carbon number of their substrates is - IV, I, III, II.
Question 58. Which one of the following is complex V of the ETC present in the inner mitochondrial membrane?
  1.    NADH dehydrogenase
  2.    Cytochrome oxidase
  3.    Ubiquinone
  4.    ATP synthase
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> ATP synthase
:
D
The complex V of ETS of mitochondrial membrane is ATP synthase, which has a head piece, stalk and a base piece. Out of these, the head piece is identified as coupling factor 1 (F1), stalk portion is necessary for binding F1to inner mitochondrial membrane and base piece is isolated as F0and present within the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Question 59. FAD is electron acceptor during oxidation of which of the following?
  1.    α-ketoglucarate -> Succinyl Co-A
  2.    Succinic acid  -> Fumaric acid
  3.    Succinyl Co-A -> Succinic acid
  4.    Fumaric acid  ->  Malic acid
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Succinic acid  -> Fumaric acid
:
B
In Kreb’s cycle, when succininc acid undergoes oxidation or dehydrogenation to form fumaric acid, two hydrogens are transferred to FAD. FAD is reduced to FADH2 and enzyme involved in this step is succinic acid dehydrogenase.
Question 60. Which of the following molecules is a product in respiration and substrate in photosynthesis?
  1.    O2
  2.    CO2
  3.    CO
  4.    N2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> CO2
:
B
CO2 is released during respiration and forms the product of respiration. Whereas in photosynthesis, the carbon dioxide molecule is fixed to form glucose. ThereforeCO2forms the substrate in photosynthesis.
