The document discusses various aspects of respiration in plants. It notes that FAD is the electron acceptor during the oxidation of succinic acid to fumaric acid. The Krebs cycle takes place in mitochondria and yields several products including NADH2, FADH2, GTP and ATP. Sites of respiration include chloroplasts, peroxisomes and mitochondria. The net gain of ATP during anaerobic respiration is 2 ATP.

RESPIRATION IN PLANTS
FAD (Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide) is the electron acceptor
during oxidation of succinic acid to fumaric acid. The order of occurrence of cytochromes in F1 particles is cyt b cyt c cyt a cyt a3. The cristae of mitochondria possess oxysomes (F1 particles). End product of anaerobic respiration is alcohol and carbon dioxide (C2H5OH + CO2). The aerobic respiration/ Krebs cycle yields- 10 NADH2, 2 FADH2, 2 GTP and 2 ATP. Krebs cycle takes place in mitochondria. During Krebs cycle, FADH2 is produced during conversion of succinic acid to fumaric acid. Site of photorespiration is chloroplasts, peroxisomes and mitochondria. F1 particles comprise of head, stalk and base. Acetyl Co A connects EMP pathway (glycolysis) and Krebs cycle. Net gain of ATP in anaerobic respiration is 2 ATP. NADP, NAD and FAD are acceptors of hydrogen. 2 ATP are produced during anaerobic fermentation. Anaerobic respiration, after glycolysis, is called fermentation. 2 ATP are obtained from the fermentation of 1 glucose molecule. Ethanol (C2H5OH) and lactic acid are the products of anaerobic respiration. Citric acid cycle is the alternate name for TCA cycle/ Krebs cycle. Glucose 6 phosphate yields less than 4kcal/mol when its phosphate bond is hydrolyzed. From glycolysis of 1 molecule of glucose, net gain of ATP is 2. RQ during early stages of germination of castor seeds is less than 1. Alcohol fermentation takes place in the presence of zymase enzyme. The site of EMP pathway in the cell is cytoplasm. ETC is located in the inner membrane of mitochondria. ADP contains one high energy bond. Cristae are the structures associated with mitochondria. Last electron acceptor in respiration is molecular oxygen (O 2). Cytochromes are essential for photosynthesis as well as respiration.
Connecting link between glycolysis and Krebs cycle is acetyl
Co A phase. During conversion of pyruvic acid to acetyl Co A, oxidative decarboxylation takes place. During respiration, energy is utilized in the form of ATP. The correct sequence of products in Krebs cycle is- Citric acid cis aconitic acid isocitric acid
oxalosuccinic acid ketoglutaric acid succinyl Co A succinic acid fumaric acid malic acid Oxaloacetic acid.
