Question

Which of the following statement is incorrect?

Options

• The breakdown product of glucose which enters into mitochondrion during aerobic respiration is pyruvic acid generated in the cytosol

• When the electrons pass from thone carrier to another via complex I to IV in the elctron transport chain they are coupled to ATP synthase (complex V) for the production of ATP from ADP and Pi

• The ratio of volume of O₂ consumed in respiration to the volume CO₂ evolved is called as the respiratory quotient (RQ)

• Compensation point is the pint reached in a plant when the rate of photosyntheisis is equal to the rate of respiration

Answer 1

The ratio of volume of O₂ consumed in respiration to the volume CO₂ evolved is called as the respiratory quotient (RQ).

Explanation:

The third statement is incorrect and can be corrected. Respiratory Quotient (RQ) is the volume of CO₂, evolved to that of oxygen consumed by an organism.
