NEET Biology Respiration In Plants Question Bank Assertion and Reason

  • question_answer
    Assertion : Substrate level phosphorylation is present in glycolysis. Reason : Substrate level phosphorylation causes synthesis of ATP.

    A) If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion

    B) If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion 

    C) If the assertion is true but the reason is false

    D) If both the assertion and reason are false

    E) If the assertion is false but reason is true

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    One of the two phosphates of diphosphoglycerate is linked by high energy bond. It can synthesize ATP and form 3-phosphoglycerate. The enzyme is phosphoglycerate kinase. The direct synthesis of ATP from metabolites is called substrate level phosphorylation. During formation of phosphoenol pyruvate the phosphate radical pick up energy. It helps in the production of ATP by substrate level phosphorylation.
