Consider the following statements with respect to respiration.
(i) Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.
(ii) Aerobic respiration takes place within the mitochondria.
(iii) Electron transport system is present in the outer mitochondrial membrane.
(iv) `C_(51)H_(98)O_(6)` is the chemical formula of tripalmitin, a fatty acid.
(v) Respirtoary quotient `=("Volume of"O_(2)"evolved")/("Volume of"CO_(2)"consumed")` of the above statements

Options

A. (i),(ii) and (iv) are correct
B. (ii),(iii) and (iv) are correct
C. (iii),(iv) and (v) are correct
D. (ii),(iv) and (v) are correct

Answer

a

Explanation

Electron transport system is present in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Respiratory quotient (RQ) is the ratio of the volume of `CO_(2)` evolved to the volume of `O_(2)` consumed i.e.,
`RQ = ("Volume of" CO_(2) "evolved")/("Volume of" O_(2) " consumed")`
