    Energy is released during the oxidation of compounds in respiration. How is this energy stored and released as and when it is needed?

    Give reasons: The amount of energy released during anaerobic respiration is less than the amount of energy released during aerobic respiration.

    During oxidation within a cell, all the energy contained in respiratory substrate, is :

    Which of the two statements together support that respiratory pathway is an amphibolic pathway , (i) Fats breakdown to glycerol and fatty acids, subsequently yields acetyl CoA (ii) In respiration C-C bonds of complex compounds breakdown through oxidation leading to release of energy (iii) Acetyl CoA from respiratory pathway is withdrawn for synthesis of fatty acids (iv) Proteins are degraded by protease to amino acids and enter the respiratory pathway

    Assertion : None autotrophic bacteria carry out chemosynthesis. Reason : Chemosynthesis bacteria trap the small amount of energy released from inorganic compound's oxidation to use in the reaction that synthesize carbohydrates.
