Question : Respiratorypathway is believedto be a catabolic pathway. However, nature of TCA cycle is amphibolic . Explain.

Answer»

Solution :In living ORGANISMS energy is formed during respiration which is built in the form of ATPat the end of break down of substances like glucose and fats.
The beginingof thisprocess is done in cytoplasm with glycolysis. In whichPyruvicacid is formed that is converted into acetyl CoAlater. Whichenters in stoma of mitochondria.So TCAcycle keepsgoing.
This CYCLE is called amphibolic pathwaybecause many INTER mediate substances are made which are useful for other processes. eg. coenzymes, vitamins,Hormones,More over fatty ACID. Amino acid etc.
Fatty acidsteroides, carotionides, Turpenis and Aromaticmaterials are made from acetyl CoA.
alpha` - ketoglutarate and oxalo ACETATE, amino acid are useful materials forglutamate and aspartate, Moreover from pyrimidinesand alkaloid succinile, cytochromeand chlorophyll aremade.
So in thiscyclebreak down and formation. both the processes occur in sequence. So it iscalled amphibolic pathway.

Question : Respiration requires O_(2) . How did the first cells on the earth manage to survive in an atmosphere that lacked O_(2) ?

Answer»

Solution :`O_(2)`is not ALWAYS required for respiration.
Some living organismssurvive in ABSENCE of `O_(2)`by doing anaerobic respiration.
The first cell on the earth, like photosyntheticbacteria are PROKARYOTIC type organismson the earth theyobtained energy by BREAK down of inorganicsubstances.
e.g. In chemosynthetic bacteria (Sulphur bacteria) chemosynthesisoccurs in following WAY
`12 H_(12) S + 6CO_(2) to C_(6) H_(12) O_(6) + 6H_(2) O + 12S darr`

Question : Respiration is an energy releasing and enzymatically controlled catabolic process whichinvolves a step-wise oxidative breakdown of organic substances inside living cells. In thisstatementaboutrespiration explainthe meaning of (a) Step-wise oxidationbreakdown(b) Organicsubstances (used as substrates)

Answer»

SOLUTION :(a) Phase wise/step wise oxidation breakdown : Respiration is a phase wise/step wise oxidation of ORGANICSUBSTANCE. In whichthree main phases are included.
(i) Glycolysis (ii) Krabes. cycle (iii)electron transportsystem . Glucose passes from phase wise catalysed enzymatic processes and at the end forms `H_(2) O + ATP + CO_(2)`
(b) Organic substances : It is normally FOUNDIN livingsystem. Theyare generally in carbon atom.s ring formor in long chain form . Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogenatoms are joinedwith it. eg. Glucose , Fatty acid, Amino acid etc.
These substances are combusted and energy is produced. The respiration of glucose and fatty acid is called FLOATING respiration while of Amino acid is called protoplasmic respiration.
