  1. RNTCP

  2. DOTS itself

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

RNTCP stands for Revised National TB Control Programme. WHO has recommended Directly Observed Treatment Short course (DOTS) strategy to control TB. Patients are given anti TB drugs under direct observation of healthcare providers. Systemic care is taken till the patient is fully cured. This treatment goes up to $6$ months.

Which of the following forms the connecting link between glycolysis and Kreb's cycle?

biology life processes in living organisms- part 1 amphibolic pathway living organisms and energy production respiration in plants

  1. Glucose

  2. Ethyl alcohol

  3. Lactic acid

  4. Pyruvic acid

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Pyruvic acid is produced as a final end product of glycolysis. This pyruvic acid then forms acetyl CoA. This acetyl CoA, acts as initial compound of Kreb's cycle.
So, the correct answer is 'Pyruvic acid'

The details of tricarboxylic acid pathway was worked out by

  1. Miescher

  2. Hans Krebs

  3. Pasteur

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Sir Hans Adolf Krebs was a German born British physician and biochemist. He was the pioneer scientist in study of cellular respiration, a biochemical pathway in cells for production of energy.

Out of 38 molecules of ATP produced after aerobic respiration of glucose, the break up in ATP production in glycolysis (P). pyruvic acid to acetyl CoA formation (Q) and Krebs cycle (R) is

  1. P = 2, Q = 6, R = 30

  2. P = 8, Q = 6, R = 24

  3. P = 8, Q = 10, R = 20

  4. P = 2, Q = 12, R = 24

Show answer
Correct Option: B

Aerobic respiratory pathway is appropriate termed ___________.

  1. Anabolic

  2. Catabolic

  3. Amphibolic

  4. Parabolic

Show answer
Correct Option: C

Which of the two statements together support that respiratory pathway is an amphibolic pathway.
i) Fats breakdown to glycerol and fatty acids, subsequently yields acetyl CoA
ii) In respiration C-C bonds of complex compounds breakdown through oxidation leading to release of energy
iii) Acetyl CoA from respiratory pathway is withdrawn for synthesis of fatty acids
iv) Proteins are degraded by protease to amino acids and enter the respiratory pathway

  1. Anaerobic respiration

  2. Glycolysis

  3. Krebs cycle

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

During the process of glycolysis 8 ATP molecules are produced in aerobic respiration. In the case of Krebs cycle 30 ATP molecules can be produced.
