Respiration in Plants - Online Test
Q1. Organism which depend on dead and decaying organic matter is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
A saprophyte or saprotroph is an organism which gets its energy from dead and decaying organic matter. This may be decaying pieces of plants or animals.
This means that saprophytes are heterotrophs. They are consumers in the food chain.
Q2. In plants, the gaseous exchange take place in a) Stomata b) Roots c) Stems d) Lenticles
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
Plants unlike animals have no special systems for breathing or gaseous exchange. Stomata and lenticels allow gaseous exchange by diffusion.
Q3. Respiration is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
Catabolism is process of break down of any large substance into smaller ones. In respiration, glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide and water molecules. Thus it is referred to as a catabolic reaction
Q4. Pasture effect can be studied in case of
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
Reduction in consumption of respiratory substrate when the mode of respiration is changed from aerobic to anaerobic is called pasture effect. It is studied in case of Sccharmomyces.
Q5. Glycolysis occurs in
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
Glycolysis" means the splitting of glucose. The first step of the process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and yields a small amount of energy (measured in units of ATP) and two molecules of pyruvate.
The other steps occur in the mitochondria.
It is an ongoing process as your cells have a constant need for energy
Q6. Glycolysis is also known as
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
The scheme of glycolysis was given by Gustav Embden, Otto Meyerhof, and J. Parnas, and is often referred to as the EMP pathway.
Q7. The complete combustion of glucose produces
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
The complete combustion of glucose, which produces carbon dioxide and water as end products, yields energy most of which is given out as heat.
Q8.
Respiratory Quotient for the reaction
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
RQ is equal to number of carbon dioxide molecules produced divided by number of oxygen molecules used during respiration. Here, RQ = 57/80 = 0.71.
Q9. What is the final product of Glycolysis?
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
Glycolysis involves the breaking down of a sugar (generally glucose, although fructose and other sugars may be used) into more manageable compounds in order to produce energy. The net end products of glycolysis are two Pyruvate, two NADH, and two ATP
Q10. How many net ATP are produced in Glycolysis?
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
At the end of glycolysis pathway, 2 net ATP molecules at step 6 and step 9 are produced.
