1. | Glucose → glucose‐6‐phosphate |
2. | Phosphoenolpyruvate → pyruvate |
3. | Fructose‐6‐phosphate → fructose‐1,6‐bisphosphate |
4. | Glyceraldehyde-3‐phosphate→1,3-bisphosphoglycerate |
Assertion (A): | When carbohydrates are used as respiratory substrate and are completely oxidised, the RQ will be 1. |
Reason (R): | Equal amounts of CO2 and O2 are evolved and consumed, when carbohydrates are used as respiratory substrate and are completely oxidised. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
Assertion (A): | It is better to consider the respiratory pathway as an amphibolic pathway rather than only as a catabolic one. |
Reason (R): | Breaking down processes within the living organism is catabolism, and synthesis is anabolism. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explains (A) |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
I: | Fermentation accounts for only a partial breakdown of glucose, whereas in aerobic respiration, it is completely degraded to CO2 and H2O. |
II: | In fermentation, there is a net gain of only two molecules of ATP for each molecule of glucose degraded to pyruvic acid, whereas many more molecules of ATP are generated under aerobic conditions. |
III: | NADH is oxidised to NAD+ rather slowly in fermentation, however, the reaction is very vigorous in case of aerobic respiration. |
Assertion (A): | It is possible to make calculations of the net gain of ATP for every glucose molecule oxidised; but in reality this can remain only a theoretical exercise. |
Reason (R): | These calculations can be made only on certain assumptions that are not really valid in a living system. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains the (A) |

3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
I: | The F1 headpiece is a peripheral membrane protein complex and contains the site for synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate. |
II: | F0 is an integral membrane protein complex that forms the channel through which protons cross the inner membrane. |
III: | The F0 headpiece is a peripheral membrane protein complex and contains the site for synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate. |
IV: | F1 is an integral membrane protein complex that forms the channel through which protons cross the inner membrane. |
