1)

a) Complex I is the largest and most complicated component of the respiratory chain. Using the bovine
heart as the model system, previous work has characterized all the complex I subunits and cloned the
encoding genes. However, the functions of the individual subunits are largely unclear. Complex I is the
only component of the mammalian respiratory chain whose three-dimensional structure is available
only at a low resolution

Which part in the above diagram shows the complex I ?

b)What is the function of NADH ?

c) Who receives the electron at the end of Electron transport chain?

d) How many oxygen molecules are involved in ETS if one molecule of acetyl CoA is
completely oxidised?

e) What is the source of electrons transferred by succinate Q reductase complex II?

THREE MARKS QUESTIONS:

2)Why there is no oxygen evolution in bacterial photosynthesis?

3) A well known biologist stated that the life history of an organism could be summed up as “gametic
fusion equational division and reductional division” comment.

4) Write notes on balance sheet of energy production in aerobic respiration.

5) In a certain ‘X’ organism, a process is occurring throughout the day in which cells are
participating. Water, ATP and carbon dioxide are evolved during the process and is not a
light-dependent process.
a) Which process is discussed above?
b) Is the process a catabolic or anabolic process?
c) Write the material of this process.

.6) Why photorespiration does not take place in C4 plants?

.
Five marks questions:

Q7) Write notes on Prophase ! of Meiosis.

Q8)  List the location in the cell where the following reactions take place during the process
of photosynthesis.
a) Synthesis of NADPH and ATP
b) Photolysis of water

c) CO2 fixation
d) Synthesis of sugar molecule
e) Synthesis of starch

Q9) Give an account of Glycolysis. Where does it occur? 

10) What are the disadvantages of photorespiration ?Explain how photorespiratory

losses are overcome in plants like sugarcane?
