_________ is called the energy currency of cell.

  1. ADP

  2. NADH2

  3. AMP

  4. ATP


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It contains high energy bonds and liberates high amount of energy on hydrolysis. It produces 7.5 kcal of energy when one phosphate group is broken and gets converted into ADP.

What is respiratory quotient?

  1. Ratio of the volume of CO2 released to the volume of O2 absorbed

  2. Ratio of the volume of O2 released to the volume of CO2 absorbed

  3. Ratio of the volume of CO2 absorbed to the volume of O2 released

  4. Ratio of the volume of O2 absorbed to the volume of CO2 released


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

R.Q. is the ratio of the volume of CO2 released to the volume of O2 absorbed during respiration.

What information does an infinitive R.Q. give about the respiration process?

  1. The substrate is a protein.

  2. The substrate is green fleshy leaves.

  3. The respiration is anaerobic.

  4. The substrate is any organic acid.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide released to the volume of oxygen consumed by a body tissue or an organism in a given period is known as the respiratory quotient. The R.Q, in the absence of O2 during anaerobic respiration, is always infinitive. Hence, it is the correct answer.

What is the respiratory quotient for carbohydrates?

  1. 0.7

  2. 1

  3. Greater than 1

  4. 0


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

R.Q. for carbohydrates is the volume of CO2 released to the volume of O2 consumed, i.e. 6CO2/6O2 = 1.

How much energy is released during anaerobic respiration?

  1. 673 kcal

  2. 21 kcal

  3. 38 kcal

  4. 6400 kcal


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Very less amount of energy, i.e. 21 kcal is produced in anaerobic respiration.

How many ATP molecules are utilised during glycolysis?

  1. 0

  2. 10

  3. 2

  4. 6


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

2 molecules of ATP are utilised during the start of glycolysis.

What is/are the end product(s) of anaerobic respiration?

  1. Alcohol

  2. Water

  3. CO2

  4. Both (1) and (3)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In anaerobic respiration, food materials are incompletely oxidised into CO2 and simple organic substances like alcohol.

Which enzyme catalyses isomerisation of 3-PGA to 2-PGA?

  1. Phosptriose isomerase

  2. Phosphoglyceromutase

  3. Hexokinase

  4. Diphosphoglyceraldehyde dehydrogenase


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

3-PGA is isomerised into 2-PGA in the presence of phosphoglyceromutase enzyme.

What is the function of cytochrome?

  1. Oxidation of glucose

  2. Energy production

  3. Electron transport

  4. Production of hormones in plants


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Cytochrome is involved in electron transport chain as it has the ability to undergo reversible oxidation.

What is the end product of glycolysis?

  1. Acetyl CoA

  2. CO2

  3. Pyruvic acid

  4. PGA


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

2 moles of pyruvic acid are produced by 1 molecule of glucose in the end of glycolysis.

Which is the first step of glycolysis?

  1. Cleavage of Fructose-1,6-diphosphate

  2. Phosphorylation of glucose

  3. Oxidative dehydrogenation

  4. Isomerisation

  5. Dehydration


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Glycolysis starts with the phosphorylation of glucose in G-6-P by using two ATP molecules in the presence of hexokinase enzyme.

Which compound acts as a connecting link between glycolysis and Kreb's cycle?

  1. Oxaloacetic acid

  2. Pyruvate

  3. Acetyl CoA

  4. Citric acid


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Acetyl CoA acts as a connecting link between glycolysis and Kreb's cycle. In mitochondrial matrix, pyruvate combines with CoA to form acetyl CoA.

Where are the enzymes for Kreb's cycle found?

  1. Cytoplasm

  2. Mitochondria

  3. Both (1) and (2)

  4. Vacuoles


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Kreb's cycle takes place in matrix of mitochondria. Hence, all enzymes for Kreb's cycle is found in mitochondria.

Which compound causes muscular fatigue due to anaerobic respiration?

  1. Alcohol

  2. Lactic acid

  3. Acetaldehyde

  4. Acetic acid


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Lactic acid, which is produced due to anerobic respiration, accumulates in the muscles after vigorous exercise and leads to muscular fatigue. Hence, it is the correct option.

How many molecules of ATP are produced by the oxidation of one molecule of acetyl coenzyme A in Kreb's cycle?

  1. 38

  2. 8

  3. 15

  4. 2


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

On complete oxidation, one molecule of acetyl coenzyme A produces 15 molecules of ATP in Kreb's cycle. Hence, this is correct.
