Botany - Respiration in Plants Question with Solution | TestHub
Match Column - I with Column - II and select the CORRECT option from the codes given below
| Column – I | Column – II | ||
| FADH2 | (i) | Phosphoenolpyruvate | |
| Electron acceptor | (ii) | Fumarate | |
| Pyruvate dehydrogenase | (iii) | Cytochrome C | |
| Substrate-level phosphorylation | (iv) | Acetyl CoA |
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
The given columns are based on the chemical reactions involved in glycolysis and aerobic respiration.
Dehydrogenation: In TCA cycle, succinate undergoes dehydrogenation to form fumarate and FADH2.
Cytochrome C: It is a small protein and does the work of electron transfer between complexes in the ETS.
Pyruvate dehydrogenase: It acts as a catalyst in the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvic acid including Coenzyme A and NAD+.
Substrate-level phosphorylation: The process of formation of ATP, when substrate get converted to products it is called substrate-level phosphorylation. when phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) gets converted to pyruvate, ATP is formed.
