4 Energy released during the oxidation of compounds in respiration is

immediately stored in ATP in the form of chemical bonds:
ADP + iP + energy —> ATP 1+1/2+1/2=2
As and when needed, this bond energy is broken and utilised
ATP —> ADP + iP + energy

Total lung capacity: Total volume of air accommodated in the lungs at the end of a forced
inspiration.

10 Glycolysis is the first stage of breakdown of glucose and common in all organisms. In anaerobic 2+1=
organisms, it is only the process of respiration. In this process, glucose undergoes partial 3
oxidation. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Ethylene: 1. highly effective in fruit ripening , 2. breaks seed and bud dormancy
Or any relevant functions
a. Each muscle fibre or muscle cell is lined by the plasma membrane called sarcolemma
12
enclosing the sarcoplasm. A muscle fibre is a syncytium as the sarcoplasm (cytoplasm)
contains many nuclei. The endoplasmic reticulum, i. e., sarcoplasmic reticulum of the
muscle fibres is the store house of calcium ions 2+1=

3. (b) : In ETS, electron passes from one carrier to another via complex I to IV in the 1x5=5
electron transport chain, they are coupled to ATP synthase (complex V) for the
production of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
4. (d) : NADH and FADH2 carries high energy electrons and deposit them into the
electron transport chain. After providing electron and hydrogen ion in ETS, NAD+
and FAD will be available for the next cycle. Surplus of hydrogen ions (protons) in
the intermembrane space used to power ATP synthase as these hydrogen ions are
allowed to flow back through a channel in ATP synthase.
