NEETBotanyRespiration in Plants
Read the following statements and choose the correct option: 1. The whole of the respiration process in plants takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. 2. Pyruvic acid is the key product of glycolysis. 3. There are four major ways in which different cells handle pyruvic acid produced by glycolysis. 4. Fermentation takes place under anaerobic conditions in many prokaryotes and unicellular eukaryotes.
Options
- Aall are correct
- BOnly 1 and 3 are incorrect
- C1,2,3 are correct
- DOnly 2 and 4 are incorrect
Correct answer
B. Only 1 and 3 are incorrect
Step-by-step solution
In glycolysis, a chain of ten reactions, under the control of different enzymes, takes place to produce pyruvate from glucose. Pyruvic acid is the key product of glycolysis. There are three major ways in which different cells handle pyruvic acid produced by glycolysis. Fermentation takes place under anaerobic conditions in many prokaryotes and unicellular eukaryotes.
