Respiration is an energy releasing and enzymatically controlled catabolic process which involves a step-wise oxidative breakdown of organic substances inside living cells. In this, statement about respiration explain the meaning of Organic substances (used as substrates)

What is the advantage of step-wise energy release during oxidation?

What is the advantage of step wise energy release in respiration?

Write whether the following statements are true or false: Glucose is oxidized step by step in the cells during the process of respiration at the body level.

Cellular respiration is the oxidation of foodstuffs for the production of energy. During aerobic respiration, complete oxidation of glucose takes place.Contradictor to this, glucose is incompletely oxidized durin anaerobic respiration . Many microbesare capacble of surviving anaerobically in environments that lack oxygen. Anaerobic respiration occurs via two steps,namely glycolysis and fermentation. The pyruvic acid formed during glycolysis is converted to organic acids or alcohols during anaerobic process. higher animals and plants, or seeds submerged in soil under water are capable of performing anaerobic respiration, when the oxygen levels are depleted .Even body cells like erythrocytes and mscle cells perform anaerobic respiration. Considering that only glycolysis is generating energy currency , how many ATP would be formed during anaerobic respiration?

Read the following statements and find out the incorrect statement. A. Ultimately all the food that is respired for life processes comes from photosynthesis. B. The energy released by oxidation in respiration is directly used for the life processes. C The carbon skeleton produced during respiration is used as precursors for biosynthesis of other molecules in cell. D. Plants, unlike animals, have no specialised organs for gaseous exchange but they have stomata and lenticels for this purpose. E. During oxidation within a cell, all the energy contained in, respiratory substrates is released free into the cell in a single step, which is trapped as chemical energy in the form of ATP.
