Important Questions on Respiration in Plants

EASY
Assertion (A): Respiratory pathway is amphibolic pathway.
Reason (R): Respiratory pathway is involved in both anabolism and catabolism.
HARD

For the Amphibolic pathway, choose the correct option of true assertions from the given assertions. 

(I) Lipid enters the first stage of the respiratory pathway.

(II) The conversion of carbohydrates into glucose, before their entry into respiration is not compulsory.

(III) Protein enters into the respiratory pathway in the form of Pyruvic acid.

(IV) Oxidation and formation of lipid and protein, these two events take place.

HARD

Find out where transketolase and epimerase reactions occur among the following:

i) G-3-P+DHAP Fructose -1-6- bisphosphate

ii) Sedoheptulose- 7- Phosphate +G-3-P Xylulose -5-P+ Ribose -5- Phosphate

iii) Ribose -5- Phosphate Ribulose -5- Phosphate

iv) Xylulose -5 -Phosphate  Ribulose-5 - Phosphate

v) Fructose - 6 -Phosphate +G-3-P Xylulose- 5 -Phosphate + Erythrose -4-Phosphate

The correct combination is

MEDIUM
Identify the substrate of these enzymes respectively.
Arginosuccinase; Hexokinase; Glutamine synthetase
A) Glutamic acid
B) Arginine
C) Arginosuccinic acid
D) Glucose
E) Fructose-1,6 phosphate
MEDIUM
Choose the correct statements regarding entry of substrates into respiratory pathway.
A) The amino acids will be formed by protease activity on proteins.
B) Carbohydrates will be converted into glucose for entry.
C) Amino acids will enter as pyruvate or acetyl COA.
D) Fatty acids will be entered as PGAL.
MEDIUM

Four mutant strains of bacteria (1-4) all require substance S to grow (each strain is blocked at one step in the S-biosynthesis pathway). Four plates were prepared with minimal medium and a trace of substance S, to allow a small amount of growth of mutant cells. On plate A, mutant cells of strain 1 were spread over entire surface of the agar to form a thin lawn of bacteria. On plate B, the lawn was composed of mutant cells of strain 2, and so
on. On each plate, cells of each of the four mutant types were inoculated over the lawn, as indicated in the figure by the circles. Dark circles indicate excellent growth. A strain blocked at a later step in the S substance metabolic pathway accumulates intermediates that can 'feed' a strain blocked at an earlier step.
