Assertion (A): When carbohydrates are used as substrate and are completely oxidised, the RQ will be 1.

Reason (R): The respiratory quotient depends upon the type of respiratory substrate used during respiration.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
Option B is correct because while both the assertion and reason are true, the reason doesn't directly explain why the RQ is 1 when carbohydrates are completely oxidized; the RQ is 1 because the number of carbon atoms equals the number of oxygen molecules required for oxidation.

Assertion: Plants only posses lenticels for gaseous
exchange
Reason: Plants are devoid of stomata
View answer and explanation

D. In respiratory pathway glycerol changes into NADH.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
C and D
Option C (D) is correct because statement C and D are false. NADH+H+→NAD+NADH + H^+ \rightarrow NAD^+ is fast in aerobic respiration, and glycerol changes into DHAP, not NADH.

In alcoholic fermentation of glucose, the net gain of NADH2NAD{H_2} is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Zero
Option B (Zero) is correct because in alcoholic fermentation, the NADH2 produced during glycolysis is used to reduce acetaldehyde to ethanol, regenerating NAD+, so there is no net gain.

a. Pyruvic acid to acetyl CoA b. -ketoglutaric acid to succinyl CoA
c. Malic acid to oxaloacetic acid
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
c only
Option D (c only) is correct because the conversion of malic acid to oxaloacetic acid produces NADH + H+, but does not release CO2CO_2. Decarboxylation does not occur in this step.

Respiratory Quotient (RQ) is one in case of
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Carbohydrates
Option C (Carbohydrates) is correct because carbohydrates have a respiratory quotient (RQ) of 1, meaning the volume of CO2CO_2 produced equals the volume of O2O_2 consumed.

Maximum energy can be obtained from oxidation of which respiratory substrate?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Fat
The correct answer is A (Fat) because fats yield more energy per gram upon oxidation compared to carbohydrates, proteins, or organic acids due to their higher proportion of carbon-hydrogen bonds.

Mineral activator needed for the enzyme carboxylase of TCA cycle is:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Mg++M{{g}^{++}}
