Question

Consider the following statements with respect to respiration.\ (i) Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.\ (ii) Aerobic respiration takes place within the mitochondria.\ (iii) Electron transport system is present in the outer mitochondrial membrane.\ (iv) $\mathrm{C}_{51} \mathrm{H}_{98} \mathrm{O}_{6}$ is the chemical formula of tripalmitin, a fatty acid.\ (v) Respiratory quotient $=\frac{	ext { Volume of } \mathrm{O}_{2} 	ext { evolved }}{	ext { Volume of } \mathrm{CO}_{2} 	ext { consumed }}$\ Of the above statements\

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(a) : Electron transport system is present on the inner mitochondrial membrane. Respiratory quotient (RQ) is the ratio of the volume of $\mathrm{CO}_2$ evolved to the volume of $\mathrm{O}_2$ consumed, i.e.,
$
\mathrm{RQ}=\frac{	ext { Volume of } \mathrm{CO}_2 	ext { evolved }}{	ext { Volume of } \mathrm{O}_2 	ext { consumed }}
