PYQ NEET- Photosynthesis & Respiration
- The final product of aerobic respiration is water.
The overall reaction of aerobic respiration is:
Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy
- The first step of aerobic respiration is glycolysis.
Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate. It occurs in the cytoplasm of cells.
- The site of aerobic respiration in plants is the mitochondria.
Mitochondria are organelles that are found in the cytoplasm of cells. They are responsible for the production of ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell.
- The final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain is oxygen.
The electron transport chain is a series of proteins that are located in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. It is responsible for the production of ATP.
- The process of aerobic respiration in plants is called cellular respiration.
Cellular respiration is the process by which cells produce energy. It occurs in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of cells.
