Question 42.1
A process is occurring throughout the day, in 'X' organism. Cells are participating in this process. During this process ATP, CO2 amd water are evolved, It is not a light dependent process.
(a) Name the process.
(b) Is it a catabolic or an anabolic process?
(c) What could be the raw material of this process?
(a) The name of the process is cellular respiration.
(b) It is a catabolic process which involves break down of glucose molecule.
C6H12O6 + 6O2Carbohydrate + oxygen⟶6CO2 + 6H2O+EnergyCarbon dioxide + water + (ATP)
