1.	Question : Commenton the statement respiration is an energyproducingprocess but ATP is being used in some stepsof the process.
Answer» Solution :Respiration is a CATABOLIC process occuring STEPWISE. In which energy is produced whereenergy is required in biotic process, energy is provided by hydrolysisof ATP. When breakdown of one ATP takes place ADP + Pi are released. Similarly onephosphate BOND BREAKS and 73Kcal energyis obtained . ThusATP is used andrespiratorybalance sheet is balanced.
