NEETBotanyRespiration in Plants
Read the following statements and choose the correct option: 1. Plants require O2 for respiration to occur and they also give out CO2. 2. Plants just like animals, have specialised organs for gaseous exchange. 3. Sucrose is converted into glucose and fructose by the enzyme, invertase, and these two monosaccharides readily enter the glycolytic pathway. 4. Glucose and fructose are phosphorylated to give rise to glucose
Options
- ABoth 1 and 5 are correct
- BOnly 1 is incorrect
- CAll are incorrect except 4
- DOnly 2 is incorrect
Correct answer
D. Only 2 is incorrect
Step-by-step solution
Plants require O2 for respiration to occur and they also give out CO2. Plants, unlike animals, have no specialised organs for gaseous exchange but they have stomata and lenticels for this purpose.,,Sucrose is converted into glucose and fructose by the enzyme, invertase, and these two monosaccharides readily enter the glycolytic pathway. Glucose and fructose are phosphorylated to give rise to glucose-6- phosphate by the activity of the enzyme hexokinase. This phosphorylated form of glucose then isomerises to produce
