1.	Chemiosmotic theory of ATP synthesis in mitochondria is based onA. membrane potentialB. accumulation of `Na^(+)` ionsC. accumulation of `K^(+)` ionsD. proton gradient
Answer» Correct Answer - D Chemiosmotic hypothesis for oxidative phosphorylation (ATP synthesis) was proposed by Peter Mitchell in 1961 , for this he was awarded Nobel prize in 1978. This theory is based on proton gradient.

In glycolysis, glucose splits into compounds which areA. 5-CB. 4-CC. 2-CD. 3-C
Make corrections wherever you find mistake in spellings/words in the following paragraphs :- A. When fats are used in respiration, the RQ is more than unity because fats contain more `O_(2)` and require relatively less amount of `O_(2)` for oxidation. B. The most important energy carrier is ATP. This energy rich compound is mobile and can pass from one cell into another. C. Before pyruvic acid enters Krebs cycle, one of the two carbon atoms of pyruvic acid is reduced to carbon dioxide in the reaction called reductive carboxylation. The remaining two carbon pyruvate unit is accepted by coenzyme A to form acetyl coenzyme A.
