Explanation / Answer

11) Option 'a' is the correct answer.

In a redox reaction, one substrate is oxidised by another substrate thereby losing electrons to it. Oxidation refers to the increase in oxidation number of the substrate by losing electrons to another substrate that undergoes reduction by gaining electrons. This coupled reaction is known as redox reaction.

12) Option 'd' is the correct answer.

Glycolysis and Kreb's cycle yield only 2ATP and 1GTP respectively, however these are important in cellular respiration as they provide electrons for Electron transport chain and subsequently oxidative phosphorylation in the form of NADH and FADH2.

13) Option 'b' is the correct answer.

Glycolysis is universal in all organisms, whether they are anaerobic kind of organisms or aerobic organisms. Glycolysis is the first step in respiration as well as fermentation.

14) Option 'd' is the correct answer.

In aerobicn respiration, carbohydrate (C6H12O6) is oxidised in presence of oxygen yielding CO2 and water (H2O). In this process, the energy released is utilized for conversion of ADP to ATP which is the energy currency of cell.
