Answer 9.
Glycolysis is a partial oxidation, glucose undergo oxidation to form two molecules of pyruvic acid. And this pyruvic acid undergo many type of reaction according to the organism and form the sub-stance which our body need. Pyruvic acid, in yeast like organism undergo fermentation and form Coand ethanol. In animal cells it form lactic acid. Finally reach in Krebs cycle then undergo electron transport then it form ATP. Such a long cycle is needed to convert glucose to ATP. So we say that glycolysis is a partial oxidation.

Answer 10.
b. Grana.
c. Non-cyclic: When the two photosystems work in a series, first PS II and then the PS I, a process called non- cyclic photo-phosphorylation occurs. The two photo-systems are connected through an electron transport chain, as seen earlier -in the Z scheme. Both ATP and NADPH + H+ are synthesised by this kind of electron flow.

Cyclic: When only PS I is functional, the electron is circulated within the photosystem and the phosphorylation occurs due to cyclic flow of electrons. A possible location this could be happening is in the stroma lamellae. The excited electron does not pass on to NADP+ but is cycled back to the PS I complex through the electron transport chain. The cyclic flow hence, results only in the synthesis of ATP.

Answer 11.
a. The term anabolism means building up process. The term catabolism means break down process. Respiration involve the break down of organic molecules like glucose. But Intermediate compounds produced during the break down of glucose is used for synthesis of complex molecules like fats and proteins. Therefore respiratory pathway involve both anabolism and catabolism, hence can be considerate as amphibolic pathway.
b. The site of perception of light by a plant for a photo periodic responds is not a flower but leaves.

Answer 12.
a. Drupe.
b. A – Epicarp, B – Mesocarp
c. Parthenocarpic fruit is the fruit which formed without fertilization of the ovary. But in figure it is true fruit which formed by fertilization of monocarpellary superior ovary.
