Question


A process is occurring throughout the day, in ‘X’ organism. Cells are participating in this process. During this process ATP, CO2 and 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?


Open in App
Solution

Aerobic respiration:

The process in which ATP, CO2 and water are released but independent of light is aerobic respiration.

During aerobic respiration, respiratory substrates such as glucose, proteins, fats are completely oxidised to release energy stored in them in the form of ATP.

The carbon of these organic compounds is released as CO2.

Final answer:
a)
Aerobic respiration

Catabolic process:

Energy released in the form of ATP is called catabolic. The process which involves the breakdown of organic compounds.

Respiration is a catabolic process.

Final answer:
b)
Catabolic process

Raw materials for aerobic respiration:

The raw materials for the aerobic respiration are called respiratory substrates such as carbohydrates (glucose), fats and proteins.

Final answer:
c)
Carbohydrates (glucose), fats and proteins
