The correct descending order of the RQ value, when carbohydrates, proteins and fats are used as respiratory substrate would be:
1. Protein ˃ Fats ˃ Carbohydrates
2. Protein ˃ Carbohydrates ˃ Fats
3. Carbohydrates ˃ Protein ˃ Fats
4. Fats ˃ Carbohydrates ˃ Protein

Phosphorylation of glucose during glycolysis is catalysed by

Pyruvic acid, the key product of glycolysis can have many metabolic fates. Under aerobic condition, it forms

Which of the following exhibits the highest rate of respiration?

Match the following and choose the correct option from those given below.

Options :

A reducing agent in a redox reaction:
1. gains electrons and gains energy.
2. loses electrons and loses energy.
3. gains electrons and loses energy.
4. loses electrons and gains energy.

What is the end product of glycolysis?

The outputs of the Krebs cycle do not include:

Oxidation of organic compounds by molecular oxygen results in the production of carbon dioxide and water and releases free energy. This is because:

1.High energy covalent bonds in organic molecules are broken to produce weaker covalent bonds in water and carbon dioxide.

2. Electrons are being moved from atoms that have a lower affinity for electrons to atoms with a higher affinity for electrons.

3.The electrons in water and carbon dioxide have higher potential energy than the electrons in organic compounds.

4. The covalent bonds in organic molecules are unstable and stable in water and oxygen.

In the given reaction:
${\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_{12}{\mathrm{O}}_6\to 6{\mathrm{CO}}_2+6{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}+\mathrm{Energy}$
1. ${\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_{12}{\mathrm{O}}_6$ is oxidized and ${\mathrm{O}}_2$ is reduced.
2. ${\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_{12}{\mathrm{O}}_6$ is reduced and ${\mathrm{O}}_2$ is oxidized.
3. ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ is reduced and ${\mathrm{O}}_2$ is oxidized.
4. ${\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_{12}{\mathrm{O}}_6$ is reduced and ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ is oxidized.
