(i) Anaerobic respiration in plants.
(ii) End-products in aerobic respiration.
(iii) Reaction occurring in liver.
(iv) Anaerobic respiration in animals.
(v) Storage in the liver.
(b) Which reactions (1-5) in the above correspond to the following (write the corresponding number of reaction next to them).
(i) Aerobic respiration.
(ii) Change taking place in the liver.
(iii) Anaerobic respiration in yeast.
(iv) Change taking place in a plant storage organ – e.g. potato.
(v) Anaerobic respiration in animals.

Answer 1

The reaction number is as follows:

(a) The reaction number of the following are:
(i) Anaerobic respiration in plants - 5.
(ii) End-products in aerobic respiration - 4.
(iii) Reaction occurring in liver - 3.
(iv) Anaerobic respiration in animals - 1.
(v) Storage in the liver - 3.
(b) The corresponding reaction number is as follows:
(i) Aerobic respiration - 4.
(ii) Change taking place in the liver - 3.
(iii) Anaerobic respiration in yeast - 5.
(iv) Change taking place in a plant storage organ – e.g. potato - 2.
(v) Anaerobic respiration in animals - 1.
