Regarding ATP synthase (complex V):
I: The F1 headpiece is a peripheral membrane protein complex and contains the site for synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
II: F0 is an integral membrane protein complex that forms the channel through which protons cross the inner membrane.
III: The F0 headpiece is a peripheral membrane protein complex and contains the site for synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
IV: F1 is an integral membrane protein complex that forms the channel through which protons cross the inner membrane.

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): It is possible to make calculations of the net gain of ATP for every glucose molecule oxidised; but in reality this can remain only a theoretical exercise.
Reason (R): These calculations can be made only on certain assumptions that are not really valid in a living system.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains the (A)
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
3. (A) is True but (R) is False
4. (A) is False but (R) is True

Correct comparisons between fermentation and aerobic respiration will include:
I: Fermentation accounts for only a partial breakdown of glucose, whereas in aerobic respiration, it is completely degraded to CO2 and H2O.
II: In fermentation, there is a net gain of only two molecules of ATP for each molecule of glucose degraded to pyruvic acid, whereas many more molecules of ATP are generated under aerobic conditions.
III: NADH is oxidised to NAD+ rather slowly in fermentation, however, the reaction is very vigorous in case of aerobic respiration.

2. Only I and III
3. Only II and III
4. I, II and III

Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: Fatty acids would be broken down to acetyl CoA before entering the respiratory
pathway when it is used as a substrate.

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): It is better to consider the respiratory pathway as an amphibolic pathway rather than only as a catabolic one.
Reason (R): Breaking down processes within the living organism is catabolism, and synthesis is anabolism.
