Respiration in Plants
Biology Solutions from Chapter -1 - Respiration in Plants
This chapter describes the processes that take place during respiration of plants. These include the Glycolysis process that converts carbohydrates into pyruvate, aerobic respiration, Amphibolic pathway, and fermentation.
Practice Other Topics from Respiration in Plants
This topic introduces respiration in plants by discussing the cycle of glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid and oxidative phosphorylation. It illustrates all the cycle in detail with diagrammatic illustrations.
This topic discusses glycolysis as the process of breaking down of glucose to pyruvic acid. It also provides a diagrammatic representation of various steps of glycolysis.
The topic describes fermentation as the incomplete oxidation of glucose achieved under anaerobic conditions by sets of reactions. Here the pyruvic acid is converted to carbon dioxide and ethanol.
The topic discusses aerobic respiration. This also describes tricarboxylic acid cycle or citric acid cycle, the electron transport system and oxidative phosphorylation.
In this topic, we will see a respiratory balance sheet which explains the calculation of the net gain of ATP. We will also study the comparison of fermentation and aerobic respiration.
The topic discusses the Amphibolic pathway. It also provides a figure of interrelationship among metabolic pathways showing respiration mediated breakdown of different organic molecules to carbon dioxide and water.
This topic describes the respiratory quotient or respiratory ratio. It discusses that the respiratory quotient depends upon the type of respiratory substrate used during respiration.
