| Assertion (A): | ATP acts as the energy currency of the cell. |
| Reason (R): | ATP is a ribonucleoside triphosphate. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A). |
| 2. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
| 1. | fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate is split into dihydroxyacetone phosphate and 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde (PGAL) |
| 2. | 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde (PGAL) is converted to 1, 3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPGA) |
| 3. | BPGA is converted to 3-phosphoglyceric acid (PGA) |
| 4. | PEP is converted to pyruvic acid |
| 1. | within the inner mitochondrial membrane |
| 2. | on the outer surface of the inner mitochondrial membrane |
| 3. | on the inner surface of the inner mitochondrial membrane |
| 4. | in the mitochondrial matrix |
| 1. | 3 and 2 respectively | 2. | 2 and 3 respectively |
| 3. | 1 and 2 respectively | 4. | 2 and 1 respectively |
| Assertion (A): | It is possible to make calculations of the net gain of ATP for every glucose molecule oxidised; but in reality this can remain only a theoretical exercise. |
| Reason (R): | These calculations can be made only on certain assumptions that are not really valid in a living system. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains the (A) |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A) |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
| Assertion (A): | It is better to consider the respiratory pathway as an amphibolic pathway rather than only as a catabolic one. |
| Reason (R): | Breaking down processes within the living organism is catabolism, and synthesis is anabolism. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explains (A) |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
| I: | ATP is utilised at two steps: first in the conversion of glucose into glucose 6-phosphate and second in the conversion of fructose 6-phosphate to fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate. |
| II: | ATP is produced at two steps: first in the conversion of BPGA to 3-phosphoglyceric acid (PGA), and second during the conversion of PEP to pyruvic acid. |
