The number of ATP molecules synthesized from oxidation of one molecule of NADH and one molecule of are respectively:
1. | 3 and 2 | 2. | 2 and 3 |
3. | 1 and 1 | 4. | 2 and 1 |
Oxygen drives the process of ATP production via ETS. The best explanation for this would be that oxygen:
1. is needed at the end of the aerobic respiration
2. is the terminal electron donor
3. is not required in the glycolytic pathway
4. acts as the final hydrogen acceptor
According to NCERT textbook, what is the number of ATP molecules that can be regarded as a net gain during aerobic respiration of one molecule of glucose?
1. 2 | 2. 30 |
3. 36 | 4. 38 |
What is the number of ATP molecules produced when pyruvate is converted to lactate by fermentation?
1. 0 | 2. 2 |
3. 4 | 4. 38 |
If fatty acids were to enter the respiratory pathway, they must be converted to a molecule with:
1. | Two carbons | 2. | Three carbons |
3. | Five carbons | 4. | Six carbons |
The respiratory pathway is best described as:
1. | Catabolic | 2. | Anabolic |
3. | Amphibolic | 4. | Amphipathic |
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
1. Phosphoglucomutase | 2. Phosphoglucoisomerase |
3. Hexokinase | 4. Phosphorylase |
Pyruvic acid, the key product of glycolysis can have many metabolic fates. Under aerobic condition, it forms
1. | Lactic acid | 2. | CO2 + H2O |
3. | Acetyl CoA + CO2 | 4. | Ethanol + CO2 |
Which of the following exhibits the highest rate of respiration?
1. Growing shoot apex | 2. Germinating seed |
3. Root tip | 4. Leaf bud |
