MCQs on Cellular respiration For NEET

 The aerobic process wherein living cells disintegrate glucose molecules releasing energy for the formation of ATP molecules is known as cellular respiration. The process involves 3 stages wherein oxygen and glucose react forming water and carbon dioxide. As a result of this process, chemical energy in such substances is diverted into life-sustaining activities and in the elimination of wastes.

1. During cellular respiration, the carbon dioxide produced is

(a) absorbed

(b) taken out

(c) stored

(d) consumed

Answer: (b)

2. Oxidative phosphorylation is the production of?

(a) NADH in respiration

(b) ATP in respiration

(c) NADPH in photosynthesis

(d) ATP in photosynthesis

Answer: (b)

3. What is the end product of glycolysis?

(a) Fructose I – phosphate

(b) Glucose I – phosphate

(c) Pyruvic acid

(d) Acetyl CoA

Answer: (c)

4. Before pyruvate enters the Krebs cycle, the connecting link between Krebs cycle and glycolysis is changed to

(a) PEP

(b) Oxaloacetate

(c) Pyruvate

(d) Acetyl CoA

Answer: (d)

5. Reduction of NADP+ to NADPH is seen in

(a) Glycolysis

(b) HMP

(c) EMP (1988)

(d) Calvin cycle

Answer: (b)

6. Pick the incorrect statement regarding Krebs cycle

(a) cycle starts with condensation of acetyl group with pyruvic acid to produce citric acid

(b) during the conversion of succinyl Co-A to succinic acid, synthesis of a molecule of GTP occurs

(c) at a point, reduction of FAD+ to FADH2. occurs

(d) the cycle has three points where reduction of NAD+ to NADH + H+ occurs

Answer: (a)

7. In the cellular respiration of one molecule of glucose, _________ of energy is conserved as 38 ATP molecules

(a) 686 Kcal

(b) 456 Kcal

(c) 654 Kcal

(d) 277 Kcal

Answer: (d)

8. Which of these yields the maximum number of ATP molecules and is the ultimate respiratory substrate

(a) Amylose

(b) Glucose

(c) Ketogenic amino acid

(d) Glycogen

Answer: (b)

9. The CH bond of food in cellular respiration is disintegrated through

(a) metabolism

(b) catalysis

(c) oxidation

(d) reduction

Answer: (c)

10. ___________ is the incomplete oxidation of glucose into pyruvic acid involving many intermediate steps

(a) Krebs cycle

(b) HMS-pathway

(c) Glycolysis

(d) TCA-pathway

Answer: (c)

Chloroplasts Questions With Answers

  The photosynthesis-conducting organelles which is the site where chlorophyll traps solar energy converting it and storing it in the energy storage molecules – NADPH and ATP are called Chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are functional in the calvin cycle performing a number of functions. It is a type of organelle referred to as a plastid. 1. The bright colours of ripe fruits is due to (a) Chromoplasts (b) Chloroplasts (c) Amyloplasts (d) Leucoplasts Answer: (a) 2. Factory for synthesis of sugars in autotrophic eukaryotes (a) Mitochondria (b) Chloroplast (c) Ribosome (d) Endoplasmic reticulum Answer: (b) 3. Stroma is the ground material of which of these (a) Ribosomes (b) Lysosomes (c) Mitochondria (d) Chloroplasts Answer: (d) 4. When green tomatoes fruits turn to red, then (a) new chromoplasts are formed (b) chloroplasts are disintegrated and get converted into chromoplasts (c) chromoplasts are changed to chloroplasts (d) none of these Answer: (b) 5. The thylakoid in chloroplasts are arra...

Parts Of Plants MCQs for NEET

  Plants are biotic factors of the ecosystem. They are photosynthetic, multicellular, eukaryotic in nature and are grouped distinctly into Kingdom Plantae. Contrary to the animals, plants possess a well-defined cell and specialized structures that are chiefly linked with cellular functionalities. These are the only living species who can manufacture/synthesize their own food. They are able to do so because of the presence of specialized structures in the cells of plants. Typically plant parts can be classified as the root system and the shoot system. 1. Which of the following factors promotes the opening of the stomatal aperture? (a) A decrease in guard cell turgidity (b) When the outer walls of the guard cells contracts (c) Radial orientation of the cellulose microfibrils in the cell wall of the guard cells (d) The longitudinal orientation of the cellulose microfibrils in the cell wall of guard cells Answer: (c) 2. Which of the following is made of dead cells? (a) Phloem (b) Phell...
