Assertion : Chloride shift is exchange of `Cl^(-)` of plasma and `HCO_(3)^(-)` of RBCs.A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertionB. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is not the correct explanation of assertionC. If assertion is true but reason is false.D. If both assertion and reason are false.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Chloride shift is the movement of chloride ions `(Cl)` into red blood cells. Carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid in the red blood cells. The carbonic acid then dissociated into hydrogen carbonate ions `(HCO_(3)^(-))` and hydrogen ions `(H^(+))`. The plasma membrane is relatively permeable to negative ions. Therefore, the hydrogencarbonate ions diffuse out of the cell into the plasma, leaving the hydrogen ions, which create a net positive charge, this is neutralised by the diffusion of chloride ions from the plasma into the cell.

(a) What are the end products in anaerobic respiration ? How much energy is released in it ? Is it considered wasteful process ? (b) Does anaerobic respiration occur in aerobes ? Give example .

Answer» (a) In yeasts ,ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide are the en products . In some bacteria and parasitic worms (Ascaris tapeworm), lactic acid is the end product.
Anaerobic respiration yields only about 5% of the energy available in glucose. Thus it is a wasteful process.
(b) yes . The aerobes also carry on anaerobic metabolism in certain tissues e.g., skeletal tissues .
