Multiple choice zoology respiratory system do plants breathe? plant respiration respiration-plants

Which of the following processes is not related to the pathway of respiration which occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

  1. Dehydrogenation of triose phosphate

  2. Substrate level phosphorylation
  3. Reduction of coenzyme $NAD^+$

  4. Release of Carbon dioxide
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Substrate level phosphorylation provides quicker, less efficient, source of ATP, independent of external electron acceptors.This is only present in human erythrocytes which have no mitochondria and in oxygen depleted muscle.

Which one is product of aerobic respiration?

  1. Malic acid

  2. Ethyl alcohol

  3. Lactic acid

  4. Pyruvic acid.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Glucose breakdown into pyruvic acid in the absence of oxygen and in the absence of oxygen pyruvic acid is converted into lactic acid even yeast in converted to ethyl alcohol in no-oxygen.

So the correct option is 'Malic acid'.

Which can readily respire without oxygen?

  1. Anabaena

  2. Saccharomyces

  3. Mushroom

  4. Fish
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Yeast possesses good fermentation potential in the absence of oxygen. Saccharomyces grow anaerobically (without oxygen) same as it grows in aerobically (with oxygen).

So the correct option is 'Saccharomyces'.

Mark the correct statement.

  1. Anaerobes grow in absence of oxygen.

  2. Aerophiles can grow in complete absence of oxygen.

  3. Aerobes can grow in absence of oxygen.

  4. Obligate anaerobes can live in the presence of abundant oxygen.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The first statement is the correct one which say the organism grow with no oxygen is called as anaerobes.

So the correct option is 'Anaerobes grow in absence of oxygen'.

Multiple choice zoology respiratory system do plants breathe? plant respiration respiration-plants

Which one yields the maximum energy?

  1. Krebs cycle

  2. Anaerobic respiration

  3. Glycolysis

  4. Aerobic respiration.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Maximum number of ATP is generated per glucose molecule oxidation by aerobic respiration.

Glycolysis gives 2 ATP by  substrate-level phosphorylation and 2 NADH yields 6 ATP (assuming 3 ATP per NADH) by oxidative phosphorylation, Transition Reaction gives 2 NADH yields 6 ATP (assuming 3 ATP per NADH) by oxidative phosphorylation, citric acid cycle gives 2 ATP from substrate-level phosphorylation, 6 NADH yields 18 ATP (assuming 3 ATP per NADH) by oxidative phosphorylation, 2 FADH$ _2$ yields 4 ATP (assuming 2 ATP per FADH$ _2$) by oxidative phosphorylation. So the total maximum yield of ATP generated from one glucose molecule is 38 ATP: 4 from substrate-level phosphorylation; 34 from oxidative phosphorylation.
So the correct option is 'Aerobic respiration'.

Multiple choice zoology respiratory system do plants breathe? plant respiration respiration-plants

Aerobic respiration occurs in 

  1. Mitochondria

  2. Peroxisomes

  3. Cytoplasm

  4. Cytoplasm and mitochondria
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Aerobic respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen. Glycolysis, Krebs' cycle and ETS are all stepwise processes of aerobic respiration. While glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, Krebs' cycle and ETS both take place in the mitochondria of the cell. 

So the answer is 'Cytoplasm and mitochondria'.

The respiratory process of yeast is

  1. Rarely anaerobic

  2. Anaerobic

  3. Purely aerobic

  4. Both aerobic and anaerobic
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

A unicellular organism like yeast can carry out both aerobic as well as anaerobic respiration depending on the environmental conditions. Anaerobic respiration is usually alcoholic fermentation and the end products are ethanol and carbon dioxide. Aerobic respiration produces CO$ _2$ and H$ _2$O as end products.

So, the correct answer is 'Both aerobic and anaerobic'.

Multiple choice biology respiration in plants do plants breathe? plant respiration respiration-plants

The number of glucose molecules required to produce 38 ATP molecules under anaerobic condition by a yeast cells is

  1. 2

  2. 4

  3. 19

  4. 25

  5. 38
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In anaerobic respiration (fermentation) in yeast, 1 molecule of glucose yields 2 ATP molecules. To produce 38 ATP molecules, one needs 38 / 2 = 19 glucose molecules.

Multiple choice biology respiration in plants do plants breathe? plant respiration respiration-plants

In anaerobic respiration

  1. O$ _2$ is given out.
  2. CO$ _2$ is given out.
  3. CO$ _2$ is taken in.
  4. O$ _2$ is taken in.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration where energy is produced in the absence of oxygen. It occurs in plant cells and some microorganisms (such as yeast) and produces ethanol and carbon dioxide in the presence of little or no oxygen. For example, the roots of plants in waterlogged soils and bacteria in puncture wounds.

Anaerobic respiration is also known as

  1. Intramolecular respiration.

  2. Intermolecular respiration.

  3. Extramolecular respiration.

  4. Molecular respiration.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Anaerobic respiration is a process of formation of energy in the absence of oxygen. Fermentation is a form of anaerobic respiration and called as intramolecular respiration. Intramolecular respiration is characteristic of certain tissues (the meristem, the fleshy parts of fruits, tubers). Chemically, the intramolecular respiration of green plants is closely related to alcoholic fermentation.
