Select the correct option:

Mercury (Hg) is generally used in anaerobic respiration experiments because it does not react with ___________.

  1. ${O} _{2}$

  2. ${CO} _{2}$

  3. ${H} _{2}O$

  4. $air$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Mercury is very reactive towards oxygen. It reacts with the oxygen in the air and also reacts with dilute acids containing oxygen. However, mercury is comparatively non-reactive in water. This is why it is used in anaerobic respiration experiments.
So, the correct answer is '$H _2$O'

2 NADH $(H^+)$ produced during anaerobic glycolysis yield

  1. 6 ATP molecules

  2. 4 ATP molecules

  3. 8 ATP molecules

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The process of glycolysis yields 2 net ATPs and 2 NADH molecules. NADH is converted into ATP in mitochondrial electron transport chain if oxygen is present. In anaerobic respiration, there is no oxygen available so NADH does not lead to the formation of ATP molecules. Without oxygen, NADH builds up and the cell can run out of NAD. Without NAD glycolysis stops. To regenerate NAD, cells with anaerobic respiration carry out the process of fermentation in which NADH gets converted into NAD to restart glycolysis. 

Thus, the correct answer is option D. 

Leaves of the plant have tiny pores for exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. These small pores are known as

  1. Nodule

  2. Stomata

  3. Radicle

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In plants, the stoma is a tiny opening found on the under-surface of leaves. These pores provide the passage for the entry of the air and the exchange of gases. They are also useful during transpiration for the escape of water vapour into the atmosphere.

So the correct option is 'Stomata'

Plants take in .......... from the air and give out ..........

  1. Oxygen, Carbon dioxide

  2. Carbon dioxide, Oxygen

  3. Oxygen, Nitrogen

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Plants perform photosynthesis to obtain the light energy from direct sunlight and convert it into chemical energy. This process utilizes carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to produce carbohydrates and oxygen. It acts as a counterbalance to respiration by utilizing the carbon dioxide generated by all breathing organisms and giving out the oxygen back to the atmosphere. 

So the correct option is ' Carbon Dioxide, Oxygen'

When yeast and sugar solution are left to stand without oxygen for some time they develop a characteristic smell due to the production of new compound, which is

  1. Ethanol

  2. Ammonia

  3. Carbondioxide

  4. Sodium carbonate


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
When yeast has both sugar and oxygen available to it, it undergoes aerobic respiration to produce energy, water and carbon dioxide. In the absence of oxygen, yeast switches over to a process called anaerobic respiration. During which, sugar is fermented to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and ethanol. Yeast that produces ethanol from the sugar has a characteristic smell and this process is generally used to ferment wine.
So, the correct answer is 'Ethanol'.

Aerobic and anaerobic respirations differ from each other in all aspects except............

  1. Involvement of oxygen

  2. Out put of energy

  3. End products

  4. Breakdown of glucose in cytoplasm


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Aerobic respiration is the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen and anaerobic respiration is the breakdown of energy in absence of oxygen.

The energy released in aerobic respiration is higher as glucose is completely broken into CO₂ and H₂O. Whereas, in anaerobic respiration partial breakdown of glucose takes place and energy output is low.
Glycolysis, that converts glucose to pyruvic acid is the only common pathway that occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. It takes place in the cytoplasm.
So, the correct option is 'Breakdown of glucose in cytoplasm'
