Respiration in Plants

Glycolysis

Glycolysis

________ (glucose- + pyruvate) occurring in the cytoplasm.

Catabolic

________ (destructive or breaking down processes), it gives out energy for use by the organism.

Oxygen

________ is obtained from the atmosphere through three inlets:

carbon dioxide

The ________ produced during respiration in the leaves serves as a raw material for photosynthesis.

Anabolic

________ (constructive or biosynthetic processes), it consumes energy.

Respiration

________ is a breaking- down process by which a living cell oxidizes organic substances (glucose) and releases carbon dioxide, water, and energy.

bell jar

The ________ should be placed on a glass sheet and its rim as well as all other connections should be vaselined to make them air- tight.

ADP

The ATP is converted to ________ (adenosine diphosphate) and again when more energy is available by the further breakdown of glucose, the ________ is reconvened to AMP and so it goes on and on.

carbolic acid

A little antiseptic (such as ________) is added to flask (B) to prevent bacterial growth on dead seeds, which would otherwise respire and release carbon dioxide.

opposite processes

In many respects, respiration and photosynthesis ln plants are distinctly ________.

breakdown of glucose

The ________ (C6H l2 O6) to carbon dioxide and water does not occur in a single step but in a series of chemical steps.

source of oxygen

Ploughing or telling of the soil creates tiny air spaces around soil particles and provides the ________ for the roots.

Respiration

________ proceeds only when oxygen (a constituent of air) is available and is therefore called aerobic (or oxy biotic) ________.

The energy liberated in the breakdown of the glucose molecule is not all in the form of heat, but a large part of it is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP

a chemical substance called adenosine triphosphate
