Test: Aerobic Respiration - Question 3

Which of the following conversions involve ATP synthesis during glycolysis?

Detailed Solution for Test: Aerobic Respiration - Question 3

In the energy conserving phase of glycolysis, the conversion of BPGA to PGA is catalyzed by phosphoglycerate kinase. The phosphate on carbon 1 is transferred to a molecule of ADP, yielding ATP and 3-phosphoglycerate. This type of ATP synthesis, traditionally referred to as substrate-level phosphorylation, involves the direct transfer of a phosphate group from a substrate molecule to ADP, to form ATP.

Test: Aerobic Respiration - Question 5

Fate of pyruvic acid during aerobic respiration is

Detailed Solution for Test: Aerobic Respiration - Question 5

During aerobic respiration, pyruvic acid which is formed during glycolysis enters mitochondrial matrix. It undergoes oxidative decarboxylation to produce CO2 and NADH. The product combines with sulphur containing coenzyme A to form acetyl CoA. This reaction is catalysed by an enzyme complex pyruvate dehydrogenase. This step is called link reaction or gateway step as it links glycolysis with Krebs' cycle.

Test: Aerobic Respiration - Question 6

Detailed Solution for Test: Aerobic Respiration - Question 6

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 form ATP through a coupled reaction.

GTP/ATP

Kreb’s cycle is also called metabolic sink as it is a common pathway for:

Detailed Solution for Test: Aerobic Respiration - Question 8

Krebs' cycle also known as TCA cycle or citric acid cycle, is a common pathway of oxidative breakdown of carbohydrates, fatty acids and amino acids. Amino acids enter the Krebs' cycle directly as glutamate (for α-Ketoglutarate) and aspartate (for oxaloacetate) after their deamination. Fats produce fatty acids and glycerol. Glycerol is phosphorylated and oxidized to form glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. Fatty acids undergo β-oxidation to produce acetyl CoA. Acetyl CoA enters Krebs' cycle.

Test: Aerobic Respiration - Question 9

When two molecules of acetyl CoA enter the TCA cycle, net gain at the end of the cycle is

Detailed Solution for Test: Aerobic Respiration - Question 9

Krebs' cycle produces 2 GTP (or 2 ATP) through substrate level phosphorylation. Six molecules of NADH2 and 2 molecules of FADH2 for every two molecules of Acetyl CoA oxidised by it.

Test: Aerobic Respiration - Question 10

Which is true about the end products of glycolysis?

Detailed Solution for Test: Aerobic Respiration - Question 10

In glycolysis, two molecules of ATP are consumed during two phosphorylation reactions to form fructose 1, 6-biphosphate. In return four molecules of ATP are produced by substrate level phosphorylation (conversion of 1, 3-biphosphoglycerate to 3-phosphoglycerate and phosphoenol pyruvate to pyruvate). Two molecules of NADH2 are formed at the time of oxidation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to 1, 3-biphosphoglycerate. The net reaction of glycolysis is as follows :
Glucose + 2NAD+ + 2ADP + 2H3PO→ 2 Pyruvate + 2NADH + 2H+ + 2ATP
Each NADH is equivalent to 2 ATP, so the net gain in glycolysis is 8 ATP.

Test: Aerobic Respiration - Question 11

Seeds respire in the

Detailed Solution for Test: Aerobic Respiration - Question 11

Oxygen is required by the germinating seed during aerobic respiration, it is the main source of energy for the seedlings until the formation of leaves. Oxygen is an atmospheric gas that is found in soil pore spaces. If a seed is buried too deeply within the soil or’the soil is water logged, the seed can be oxygen starved. If germinating seeds do not get air for respiration, they are still capable of respiration in absence of oxygen. Anaerobic respiration takes place in the seeds in the absence of free oxygen.

Test: Aerobic Respiration - Question 12

The respiration in germinating seeds produces energy, which can be detected in the form of

Detailed Solution for Test: Aerobic Respiration - Question 19

The same respiratory process which acts as catabolic pathway for respiratory substrates also acts as anabolic pathway for the synthesis of various intermediary metabolic products and secondary metabolites. The respiratory pathway, therefore acts both as catabolic as well as anabolic pathway. Thus, it is better to call it amphibolic pathway rather than a catabolic pathway alone.

Test: Aerobic Respiration - Question 20

Which of the following steps of respiration is amphibolic?

Detailed Solution for Test: Aerobic Respiration - Question 20

TCA or Krebs' cycle is amphibolic (both catabolic and anabolic) because it provides a number of intermediates for anabolic pathways.

Test: Aerobic Respiration - Question 28

During complete metabolism of glucose, the number of ATP formed is

Detailed Solution for Test: Aerobic Respiration - Question 28

There is a gain of 2 ATP molecules during glycolysis and 2 ATP(GTP) molecules during double Krebs cycle. A total of 10 NADH2​ molecules are formed in aerobic respiration. Thus, the net gain from complete oxidation of a molecule of glucose in muscle and nerve cells is 36 ATP molecules (10 NADH2 ​= 30ATP, 2FADH2​ = 4ATP, four formed by substrate-level phosphorylation in glycolysis and Krebs' cycle and two consumed in transport of the NADH2​ molecules into mitochondria). In aerobic prokaryotes, heart, liver and kidneys, 38 ATP molecules are produced per glucose molecule oxidised. passage of ATP molecules from inside of mitochondria to the cytoplasm is through facilitated diffusion.

Thus, there is a net gain of 36 or 38 ATP molecules depending upon the type of aerobic respiration.

[Note: 1NADH2​ = 3ATP and 1FADH2​ = 2ATP].

Test: Aerobic Respiration - Question 29

Read the given statements and select the correct option.
Statement 1:
During photophosphorylation (of photosynthesis), light energy is utilised for the production of a proton gradient during ATP synthesis.
Statement 2: In respiration, the energy of oxidation-reduction is utilised for the phosphorylation and thus the process is called oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed Solution for Test: Aerobic Respiration - Question 29

Photophosphorylation occurs in the grana and requires the direct sunlight energy to make energy-carrier molecules that are used in the dark reaction. The light energy is trapped by chlorophyll to make ATP and NADPH. Oxidative phosphorylation is the synthesis of energy-rich ATP molecules with the help of energy liberated during oxidation of reduced co-enzymes (NADH, FADH2​) produced in respiration.
