The correct Answer is:
B
(B) All carbohydrates are usually first converted into glucose before they are used for respiration.
Proteins, fats and organic acids can also be respired but they do not enter the respiratory pathway at the first step.

Assertion : When carbohydrates are used as substrate and are completely oxidised, the RQ is equal to 1. Reason : When proteins are used in respiration, the RQ is greater than 1.

Assertion: In living organisms, respiratory substrates are often more than one. Reason: Pure proteins or fats are never used as respiratory substrates.

Assertion : Carbohydrate are most suitable for the production of energy in the body than proteins and fats. Reason : Carbohydrates can be stored in tissues as glycogen and be stored in tissues as glycogen and can be used for protissues and fats.

Assertion :- Carbohydrates are more suitable for the production of energy in the body than protein and fats. Reason:- Carbohydrate can be stored in epithelial tissue as glycogen for use in the production of energy, whenever necessary

Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the option given below: Assertion: Carbohydrates are more suitable for the production of energy in the body than proteins and fats. Reason : Carbohydrates can be stored in the tissues as glycogen for use in the production of energy, whenever necessary.

Assertion : Glycolysis is also called EMP pathway. Reason : It is the only process of respiration in aerobic organisms.

Assertion : Two ATP molecules are produced during anaerobic respiration. Reason : Glucose is converted into pyruvic acid through a series of reactions with net gain of two ATP molecules.

Assertion : Acids that have more than one proton that can be donated to base are called polyrotic acids. Reason : For all diprotic acids, the equilibrium constant K_(a_(2)) for the second stage of ionisation is smaller than the equilibrium constant, K_(a_(1)) , for the first stage of ionisation.

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complex compounds breakdown through oxidation leading to release of energy (iii) Acetyl CoA from respiratory pathway is withdrawn for synthesis of fatty acids (iv) Proteins are degraded by protease to amino acids and enter the respiratory pathway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: Glycolysis is the first step of respiration in which glucose completely breaks into CO_(2)" and "H_(2)0 . Reason: In this process. there is net gain of twenty four molecules of ATP.
