| Assertion (A): | Plant cells utilize a strategy during respiration that involves catabolizing glucose in multiple small steps. |
| Reason (R): | Unlike animal cells, plant cells do not have metabolic machinery to catabolize glucose. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True; (R) is False |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
Which of these statements is incorrect?
| 1. | Enzymes of TCA cycle are present in mitochondrial matrix. |
| 2. | Glycolysis occurs in cytosol. |
| 3. | Glycolysis operates as long as it is supplied with NAD that can pick up hydrogen atoms. |
| 4. | Oxidative phosphorylation takes place in outer mitochondrial membrane. |
| I: | first in the conversion of glucose into glucose 6-phosphate |
| II: | second in the conversion of fructose 6-phosphate to fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate |
| 1. | Only I | 2. | Only II |
| 3. | Neither I nor II | 4. | Both I and II |
| I: | pyruvate |
| II: | ATP |
| III: | NADH |
The enzyme lactate dehydrogenase catalyses:
| 1. | the oxidation of pyruvate to lactate to regenerate NAD+. |
| 2. | the reduction of pyruvate to lactate to regenerate NAD+. |
| 3. | the reduction of pyruvate to lactate to regenerate NADH. |
| 4. | the oxidation of pyruvate to lactate to regenerate NADH. |
| I: | Yeast fermentation produces ethanol and carbon dioxide. |
| II: | Yeast fermentation regenerates NADH. |
| Assertion (A): | The maximum concentration of alcohol in beverages that are naturally fermented with yeast is about 13%. |
| Reason (R): | In alcohol fermentation, yeast converts pyruvic acid to ethanol and carbon dioxide. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
| I: | The complete oxidation of pyruvate by the stepwise removal of all the hydrogen atoms, leaving three molecules of CO2, takes place in mitochondrial matrix. |
| II: | The passing on of the electrons, removed as part of the hydrogen atoms, to molecular O2 with simultaneous synthesis of ATP occurs in cytosol. |
