NEET2013BotanyRespiration in PlantsActual
The three boxes in this diagram represent the three major biosynthetic pathways in aerobic respiration. Arrows represent net reactants or products Arrows numbered 4,8 and 12 can all be
Options
- ANADH
- BATP
- CH ₂ O
- DFAD ⁺ orFADH ₂
Correct answer
B. ATP
Step-by-step solution
Pathway A is glycolysis, pathway B is the krebs' cycle and pathway C is oxidative phosphorylation Arrow 1 - ADP or NAD ⁺ Arrow 2 - Pyrunate Arrow 3 - NADH Arrow 4 - ATP Arrow 5 - ADP, NAD ⁺ or FAD Arrow 6 and 7 - FADH ₂ and NADH (either one can be 6 or 7 ) Arrow 8 - ATP or CO ₂ Arrow 9 and 10- O ₂ and ADP (either one can be 9 or 10 ) Arrow 11 and 12- H ₂ O and ATP (either one can be 11 or 12)
