Important Questions on Plant Physiology: Respiration

EASY

The respiratory quotient of the reaction given below is :

2C51H98O6+145O2102CO2+90H2O+ energy

EASY

Assertion (A) :- The pathway from glucose to lactic acid occurs in 10 metabolic steps. Organisms will trap this energy and store in the form of chemical molecules.

Reason (R) :- Glucose is the only substrate for the production of energy.

The correct option among the following is:

EASY
Respiratory quotient is maximum when respiratory substrate is 
EASY
When tripalmitin is used as respiratory substrate. The process consumes 145 molecules of oxygen and releases 102 molecules of CO2, then RQ would be
EASY
The respiratory quotient during cellular respiration would depend on the
EASY
The R.Q. of a plant organ depends upon the nature of the substrate which is
EASY
What is the value of RQ of castor seeds, if the imaginary values of Ganong's respirometer are as follows

(i) First rise of saline = 10 ml
(ii) Second rise of saline after adding KOH = 30 ml
HARD
The respiratory quotient (RQ) of some of the compounds are 4,1 and 0.7. These compounds are identified respectively as
MEDIUM
The value of R.Q. when the respiratory substance are poor in oxygen is?
MEDIUM
When proteins are used as respiratory substrates the value of R.Q. (Respiratory Quotient) is
MEDIUM
If RQ is less than 1.0 in a respiratory metabolism, it would mean that
