 3.Discuss on the over view of cellular respiration process and mention what goes in the metabolic pathways/cycle and what comes out.

answers:

Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water in order to release energy.
C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O→12H2O+6CO2+Energy

The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell.

The process occurs in two phases:
1) Glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid
2) The complete oxidation of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and water.

In eukaryotes, glycolysis occurs in the cytosol. The remaining processes take place in mitochondria.

In mitochondria, this process uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide as a waste product.

  5. Tabulate the unique and common features for both plant and animal cells.  answer : Difference Between Plant cell and Animal cell The cell is the fundamental unit of life. All the life activities are carried out by cells. The organisms can be classified based on the number of cells present in them. Unicellular organisms are single-celled, while multicellular organisms have a large number of cells. Unicellular organisms are believed to be one of the earliest forms of life on earth. Eventually, more complex multicellular organisms evolved from these unicellular life forms over the aeons. Multicellular organisms have specialized cells with complicated cell organelles, which unicellular organisms typically lack. In an ecosystem, plants have the role of producers, while animals have taken the role of consumers. Hence, their daily activities and functions vary, and so does their cell structure. Cell structure and organelles vary in plants and animals, and are primarily classified based o

  2.Compare the functions of starch and glycogen with a note about their different linkages. answers:  Difference between Starch, and Glycogen The table below shows the main differences between starch, cellulose and glycogen. Starch Glycogen It is a polymer of 𝜶-glucose subunits It is a polymer of 𝜶-glucose subunits It contains two types of polymers, amylose (unbranched and coiled) and amylopectin (branched) It is highly branched and similar to amylopectin The 𝜶-glucose subunits are joined by 1,4 glycosidic bonds in amylose and 1,4 and 1,6 glycosidic bonds in amylopectin The 𝜶-glucose subunits are joined by 1,4 and 1,6 glycosidic bonds Amylose is unbranched and amylopectin is branched It is highly branched It is the main storage carbohydrate in plants It is the main storage carbohydrate in animals and fungi Structure of Starch Starch is the main storage carbohydrate of plants. It is made up of 𝜶-glucose subunits. It contains two types of polymers, amylose and amylopectin. Amylose

1. Elaborate on the diversity of the root and shoot system of plants answer: Introduction Plants are one of the most important living organisms on earth. They have huge benefits for both humans and animals. A plant is made up of numerous parts. Distinct parts serve different purposes. The shoot system refers to the portion of the plant that protrudes above ground level, whereas the root system refers to the portion buried beneath the soil. The essential parts of a plant are: Roots Stem Leaves Flowers Fruits The study of plant organ tissue and cellular structure is known as plant anatomy. Cells serve as the fundamental building block of plants. Cells are organised into tissues, which are then organised into organs. Plant organs differ from one another in terms of their internal structure. The monocots and dicots are also observed to have diverse anatomical structures within angiosperms. Internal structures also exhibit environmental adaptations. Anatomy of Root All vascular plants have
