Respiratory quotient (RQ) is the ratio between the volume of CO2 produced and the volume of Oxygen consumed by a respiring system. Concentration of oxygen in the environment when the RQ of a system is one, is referred to as the extinction point. Since lactic fermentation is a type of. erobic respiration that neither consumes oxygen nor rele: CO, its RQ would be zero divided by zero and therefor ble. RQ of ethanolic fermentation that only produces COg does not oxygen, would however be infinity. Non-germinating live seed fermentation and their RQ the nature of thei i They switch over to be one. Thus al grains (except corn/maize th i amount of oil as reserve) would be tory substrate (as in case of ic acids as respiratory substrate is greater than one, fruits of tamarind and citrus. ‘ulent plants like Bryophyllum and Kalanchoe is zero since they do not release any respiratory CO2 on account of its internal utilization in Hatch — Slack pathway. Pasteur's effect is the inhibition of anaerobic respiration by the atmospheric oxygen. Bohr's effect is related to the diminished capacity of blood haemoglobin to carry oxygen, under increased concentration of COg in the atmosphere.simplyLearnt Tips & Tricks www.simplylearnt.com « Warburg's apparatus is a kind of respirometer which is usable additionally for the determination of RQ. * Kuhne’s apparatus is used for measuring the rate of ethanolic fermentation. * Water is the most characteristic product of aerobic respiration. * Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasmic matrix (or cytosol), link reaction (i.e. the conversion of pyruvic acid into acetyl CoA) takes place in the intermembrane space of mitochondria whereas the Kreb’s cycle, in the mitochondrial lumen. Dehydrogenases of the Kreb’s cycle are associated with the inner membrane of mitoct ria. * Respiratory electron transport system (or is located in the inner membrane of mitochondria, particularly, bunits of Fernandez- Moran (also referred to as oxisomes or entary particles of mitochondria). © Oxygen is the final acceptor of s ugh the ETS.

In the prokaryotes however, there is no such chemiosmotic consumption of ATP and NADH + Ht of all : glycolysis, link reaction and Kreb’s cycle, produce a gain of 3 ATP each. * Consumption of each glucose molecule by aerobic respiration in eukaryotes produces a net gain of 36 ATP. Of these, 32 ATP are generated by respiratory ETS (=oxidative phosphoylation) and 4 ATP, by substrate level phosphorylation. In prokaryotes however, each osmosis. Thus
