Question
With a schematic diagram, explain the overall process of respiration in animals.

Answer
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).

When an insect sits on the flower of a plant then some particles A present in the top of little stalks in the flower attach to its body hair. When this insect now sits on the flower of another similar plant, then particles A attached to the hair of insect are put on the top of a flask-shaped organ at the centre of flower. The particle A grows a long tube b from the top of flask-shaped organ through which C moves down and reaches the bottom part of flask-shaped organ. Here C fuses with the nucleus of d contained in structure E. the fusion of C and D forms a new cell f which grows and develops into a seed of the plant.
- What are particles A? What is the process of transferring A from one flower to another flower of similar plant by the insect known as?
- What is the name of tube B?
- What is C which moves down through the tube B?
- Name D and E.
- What is F?
