11. Read the following passage and answer the questions given below 4
(1+1+2)
Respiration is an energy releasing enzymatically controlled process. It involves a
stepwise breakdown of food substances inside living cells. The energy released during
cellular respiration is immediately used to synthesize a molecule called ATP, which is
used to fuel all. other activities of the cell. In these processes ATP is broken down, to
release a fixed amount of energy which can drive the endothermic reactions taking
place in the cell.

a) The respiratory substrate within the cells is:

i. Glucose
ii. Starch
iii. Cellulose
iv. Lactic acid

b) Identify the incorrect statement

i. Breathing rate of aquatic animals is higher than terrestrial animals
ii. Lime water turns milky due to the presence of moisture in the air exhaled by us
iii. During the day carbon dioxide generated by respiration is used up for
photosynthesis, hence there is no CO2 release.
iv. The air passing through nostrils is filtered by fine hairs that line the passage.

c) Make a graphic organizer to show the breakdown of glucose by various

pathways.
