Respiration in Plants

Oxidative phosphorylation is

1. formation of ATP by transfer of phosphate group from a substrate to ADP
2. oxidation of phosphate group in ATP
3. addition of phosphate group to ATP
4. formation of ATP by energy released from electrons removed during substrate oxidation.

Cytochromes are found in

1. cristae of mitochondria
2. lysosomes
3. matrix of mitochondria
4. outer wall of mitochondria.

In which one of the following processes CO2 is not released?

1. Aerobic respiration in plants
2. Aerobic respiration in animals
3. Alcoholic fermentation
4. Lactic fermentation

Which of the metabolites is common to respiration-mediated breakdown of fats, carbohydrates and proteins?

1. Pyruvic acid
2. Acetyl CoA
3. Glucose-6-phosphate
4. Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate

The three boxes in this diagram represent the three major biochemical pathways in aerobic respiration. Arrows represent net reactants or products. [figure] Arrows numbered 4, 8 and 12 can all be

1. H2O
2. FAD or FADH2
3. NADH
4. ATP.

In mitochondria, protons accumulate in the

1. outer membrane
2. inner membrane
3. intermembrane space
4. matrix

The energy-releasing metabolic process in which substrate is oxidised without an external electron acceptor is called

1. glycolysis
2. fermentation
3. aerobic respiration
4. photorespiration

Aerobic respiratory pathway is appropriately termed

1. parabolic
2. amphibolic
3. anabolic
4. catabolic.

The energy-releasing metabolic process in which substrate is oxidised without an external electron acceptor is called

1. glycolysis
2. fermentation
3. aerobic respiration
4. photorespiration

The chemiosmotic coupling hypothesis of oxidative phosphorylation proposes that adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is formed because

1. a proton gradient forms across the inner membrane
2. there is a change in the permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane toward adenosine diphosphate (ADP)
3. high energy bonds are formed in mitochondrial proteins
4. ADP is pumped out of the matrix into the intermembrane space
