The term “respiration” is derived from Latin

(A) Breathing

(C) iii → i → ii → iv

Answer is (D) Nitrogen

(A) aerobic respiration

1. Pyruvate dehydrogenase  2. Thiamin (vitamin Bi)

1. The conversion of pyruvic acid to acetyl CoA is an oxidative decarboxylation reaction.  2. It is catalyzed by a multienzyme complex-pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH). This enzyme is present in mitochondria...

Oxygen is very important for life, we humans cannot survive without oxygen. Glycolysis, link reaction and Krebs cycle do not involve oxygen. In cellular reaction, oxygen is required only during...

Anaerobic respiration produces less energy because:  1. Incomplete breakdown of respiratory substrate takes place.  2. Some of the products of anaerobic respiration can be oxidised further to release energy which shows that...

The correct answer (A) Oxaloacetic acidis
