The number of substrate level phosphorylations in one turn of citric acid cycle is :   [2020]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Respiration in Plants - 1 - Question 2

During Krebs' or citric acid cycle, succinyl-CoA is acted upon by enzyme succinyl-CoA synthetase to form succinate (a 4C compound). The reaction releases sufficient energy to form ATP (in plants) or GTP (in animals) by substrate-level phosphorylation. GTP can then be used to form ATP.

31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Respiration in Plants - 1 - Question 4

The three boxes in this diagram represents the three major  biosynthetic pathways in aerobic respiration. Arrows represents net reactants or products. [NEET 2013]

Arrows numbered 4, 8 and 12 can all be :

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Respiration in Plants - 1 - Question 4

 In a given diagram of aerobic respiration – pathway A is glycolysis, pathway B is kreb’s cycle and pathway C is ETS , thus  4, 8 & 12 are ATP. ATP act as energy currency. The energy trapped in form of ATP and it broken down whenever and wherever it needs to be utilised.

31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Respiration in Plants - 1 - Question 5

Which of the metabolites is common to respiration mediated breakdown of fats, carbohydrates and proteins? [NEET 2013]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Respiration in Plants - 1 - Question 5

Carbohydrates are usually first converted into glucose before they are used for respiration. Fats are broken down into glycerol and fatty acids first. If fatty acids were to be respired they would first be degraded to acetyl CoA and enter the pathway. Glycerol would enter the pathway after being converted to 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde (PGAL). The proteins are degraded by proteases to individual amino acids (after deamination) and depending on their structure enter the pathway within the Krebs’ cycle or as pyruvate or acetyl CoA. Thus, acetyl CoA is the common metabolite of all the three (carbohydrates, proteins and fats).

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Respiration in Plants - 1 - Question 7

All energy-releasing pathways whether aerobic (requiring oxygen) or anaerobic (not requiring oxygen) begin with a pathway called glycolysis, which occurs in the cytoplasm (cytosol). Aerobic respiratory pathway is appropriately termed amphibolic. Aerobic respiration is the main energy-releasing pathway leading to ATP formation. It occurs in the mitochondria. Aerobic respiration yields thirty-six ATP

31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Respiration in Plants - 1 - Question 8

The chemiosmotic coupling hypothesis of oxidative phosphorylation proposes that adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is formed because: [2008]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Respiration in Plants - 1 - Question 8

Chemiosmotic theory postulated by the British biochemist Peter Mitchell (1920-22) to explain the formation of ATP in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. As electrons are transferred along the electron carrier system in the inner mitochondrial membrane, hydrogen ions (protons) are actively transported into the space between the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes, which thus contains a higher concentration of protons than the matrix. This creates an electrochemical gradient across the inner membrane, through which protons move back into the matrix

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Respiration in Plants - 1 - Question 13

Clostridium botulinum is an obligate anaerobe i.e. it normally lives in the absence of oxygen. Facultative anaerobes are those who generally live in oxygen but may live without oxygen in suitable medium. Obligate aerobes can only live in the presence of oxygen while facultative aerobes generally live in oxygen but can also live without oxygen.

31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Respiration in Plants - 1 - Question 14

How many ATP molecules could maximally be generated from one molecule of glucose, if the complete oxidation of one mole of glucose to CO2 and H2O yields 686 kcal and the useful chemical energy available in the high energy phosphate bond of one mole of ATP is 12 kcal ? [2006]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Respiration in Plants - 1 - Question 14

12 kcal of energy present in one molecule of ATP & on oxidation of one mole of glucose into CO2 and H2O energy released in 686 kcal. So no. of ATP which can store this energy would be = 57.1 = 57 ATPs.

31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Respiration in Plants - 1 - Question 15

During the stage in the complete oxidation of glucose are the greatest number of ATP molecules formed from ADP [2005]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Respiration in Plants - 1 - Question 15

In glycolysis 4 ATP and 2NADH2 molecules are formed. These 2NADH2  molecules go to electron transport chain. In oxidative decarboxylation no ATP molecule is formed but two molecules of 2NADH2  are formed from two molecules of pyruvate. These two NADH2go to electron transport chain. In Kreb's cycle 2 ATP, 6NADH2and 2FADH2 molecules are formed from two molecule of acetyl Co-A. These NADH2 and 2FADH2  go to electron transport chain. In electron transport chain all 2NADH2   and 2FADH2  pass to electron carriers and yield 3 ATP and 2 ATP molecules per 2NADH2   and 2FADH2  respectively. Thus,  4 ATP are formed in glycolysis, 2 ATP in Krebs cycle and 34 ATP from electron transport chain. 40 ATP and 2 ATP molecules are used during glycolysis. So, net gain of ATP molecules during one complete oxidation of a glucose molecule is 38 ATP.

 

So, the correct answer is 'Electron transport chain'.

31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Respiration in Plants - 1 - Question 16

Chemiosmotic theory of ATP synthesis in the chloroplasts and mitochondria is based on:[2005]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Respiration in Plants - 1 - Question 16

The enzyme responsible for oxidative phosphorylation is ATP synthase. ATP synthase is located in the F1 component of F0 – F1 or elementary particles. ATP synthase becomes active in ATP formation only where there is a proton gradient having higher concentration of H+ or protons on the F0 side as compared to F1 side. Increased proton concentration is produced in the outer chamber of outer surface of inner mitochondrial memberane by the pushing of protons with the help of energy liberated by passage of electrons from one carrier to another.

Competitive inhibition is the reversible inhibition of enzyme activity due to presence of substrate analogues. Non competitive inhibition is the reduction of enzyme activity by a factor that has no real structural similarity with the substrate. Allosteric inhibition  is reversible  noncompetitive inhibition occurring in case of allosteric enzymes. Herein the inhibitors are the products or intermediates of reactions catalyzed by the enzymes. Hence it is also called end product inhibition or feedback inhibition.
