Respiration is a cellular process which occurs in each and every cell of body. It starts with glycolysis- a reaction in which breakdown of glucose occurs. Glucose gets converted into pyruvic acid. The process of glycolysis takes place in cytoplasm.
Now this pyruvic acid enters into mitochondria via link reaction in which it gets converted into acetyl-CoA. Now this acetyl-CoA enters in the mitochondria where it performs kreb's cycle in mitochindrial matrix. All the ATP and NADH2 and FADH2 produced till now performs ETS cycle (Electron transport chain) which is located in the mitochondrial membranes. Finally it undergoes oxidative phosphorylation and ATPs are released.
GLYCOLYSIS(in cytoplasm) → LINK REACTION(in cytoplasm) → KREB
CYCLE(mitochondrial matrix) → ELECTRON TRANSPORT SYSTEM
(mitochondrial membrane) → OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION(mitochondrial membrane).

- 6View SolutionThe partially digested food coming from the stomach of a person enters a long and narrow organ A in his body. The organ A receives the secretion of two glands: liver and pancreas. Liver secretes a greenish - yellow liquid B which is normally stored in the organ C. Pancreas secretes pancreatic juice which contains three digestive enzymes D, E and F. The intestinal juice completes the process of digestion of food. The inner wall of organ A has millions of tiny finger - like projections G which help in the rapid absorption of digested food into blood stream. The undigested part of food then passes into wider tube H which absorbs most of the water from undigested food. The last part of tube H called I stores this undigested food (or waste) for some time. The undigested food is then passed out though opening J as faeces in the process known as K.

The substance B contains an enzyme C which starts the digestion of food in the mouth. The slightly digested food from the mouth goes down a tube D. The special type of movements E in the walls of tube D push the food into stomach for further digestion. The stomach wall secretes gastric juice containing three substance F, G and H. One of the functions of F is to kill bacteria which may enter the stomach with food. The substance G protects the inside layer of stomach from the damaging effect of substance F whereas substance H is and enzyme for digestion. The partially digested food then enters into small intestine for further digestion.
