RESPIRATION IN PLANTS Flashcards
Process of Breathing is connected to the process of _________
Release of energy from food
Cellular Respiration
The breakdown of food materials inside the cell to release energy and using this energy for synthesis of ATP is called CR
The energy required for life processes is obtained from ___
Breaking down of macromolecules (food)
Respiration
Breaking of C-C bonds of complex compounds leading to release of considerable amount of energy is known as Respiration.
Respiratory Quotient.

In aerobic respiration what site(s) are involved?
Mitochondria and Cytoplasm
In anaerobic respiration what site(s) are involved?
Cytoplasm
Tripalmitin RQ?
0.7
RQ of Proteins?
0.9
Atp utilization procedure.
Jab cell mai oxidation hota hai tab RS ki saari energy cell mai ek baar mai energy release nhi hoti atteast in muttiple steps (controlled by enzymes). Iske baad ye chemical energy ke form mai trap no jati hai ie. ATP
This ATP is then utilized only in times of need. otherwise it is stored.
Glycolysis scheme given by?
J.Parnas
Gustav Embden
Otto Meyerhoff
Plants can survive without respiratory organs?
- Less distance tb covered by gases.
- Photosynthesis, fulfill their needs.
- Do not impose high demands.
- Almost all cells in contact with air.
- Cells inside and beneath bark have openings called “lenticels”.
- Loose packing of parenchyma in L,R,S facilitates.
