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).

- 1View SolutionThere are five animals P, Q, R, S and T. The animal P always lives in water and has gills for breathing. The animal Q can stay in water as well as on land and can breathe both, through moist skin and lungs. The animal R lives in soil and breathes only through its skin. The animal S lives on land and breathes through spiracles and tracheae. And animal T lives in water and breathes through its cell membrane.

- 2View SolutionThere is a pair of bean-shaped organs P in the human body towards the back, just above the waist. A waste product Q formed by the decomposition of unused proteins in the liver is brought into organ P through blood by an artery R. The numerous tiny filters S present in organ P clean the dirty blood by removing the waste product Q. The clean blood goes into circulation through a vein T. The waste substance Q, other waste salts, and excess water form a yellowish liquid U which goes from organ P into a bag-like structure V through two tubes W. This liquid is then thrown out of the body through a tube X.
