NEETBotanyRespiration in Plants
Read the following statements and choose the correct option: 1. Glucose is the favoured substrate for respiration. 2. All carbohydrates are usually first converted into glucose before they are used for respiration. 3. Fats would need to be broken down into glycerol and fatty acids first. 4. The proteins would be degraded by proteases and the individual amino acids depending on their structure would enter the pathway
Options
- Aall are correct
- BOnly 1 and 3 are incorrect
- C1,2,3 are correct
- DOnly 2 and 4 are incorrect
Correct answer
A. all are correct
Step-by-step solution
Glucose is the favoured substrate for respiration. All carbohydrates are usually first converted into glucose before they are used for respiration. Fats would need to be broken down into glycerol and fatty acids first. The proteins would be degraded by proteases and the individual amino acids depending on their structure would enter the pathway at some stage within the Kreb's cycle.
