Consider the following statements with respect to respiration (i) Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. (ii) Aerobic respiration takes place within the mitochondria. (iii) The electron transport system is present in the outer mitochondrial membrane. (iv) C 51 H 98 O 6 is the chemical formula of tripalmitin, a fatty acid. (v) Respiratory quotient = V o l u m e o f O 2 e v o l v e d V o l u m e o f C O 2 c o
Options
- A(i), (ii) and (iv) are correct
- B(ii), (iii) and (iv) are correct
- C(iii), (iv) and (v) are correct
- D(ii), (iv) and (v) are correct
Correct answer
A. (i), (ii) and (iv) are correct
Step-by-step solution
Only iii and v options are incorrect because the Electron transport system occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane and it is the final stage of aerobic respiration. Respiratory quotient is also known as RQ which is determine through this formula i.e. Volume of carbon dioxide produced to the volume of oxygen consumed.
