Respiration in Plants: NEET questions with solutions
This chapter tests glycolysis, fermentation, the link reaction, Krebs' cycle, the electron transport system, ATP yield, amphibolic nature and respiratory quotient. NEET marks are lost on locations (cytoplasm versus matrix versus inner membrane), the net ATP and NADH counts, and RQ values for different substrates.
