HS 1st Year (Botany)- Respiration in Plants- Complete

What Will You Learn?

• Introduction to Respiration
• Understand the fundamental process of respiration in plants and its significance in energy production.
• Glycolysis
• Learn the step-by-step breakdown of glucose in the cytoplasm and how it leads to the formation of pyruvate, yielding ATP.
• Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)
• Explore the detailed process of the Krebs cycle in the mitochondria, where further oxidation of pyruvate takes place.
• Electron Transport Chain (ETC) and Oxidative Phosphorylation
• Discover how the Electron Transport Chain generates a large amount of ATP by using electrons from NADH and FADH₂.
• Fermentation
• Understand anaerobic respiration in plants, including alcoholic and lactic acid fermentation, and how it occurs in the absence of oxygen.
• Respiratory Quotient (RQ)
• Learn how the respiratory quotient is calculated and what it reveals about the type of substrate being oxidized in respiration.
• Amphibolic Pathway
• Study the concept of the amphibolic pathway, where respiration is linked to both catabolism and anabolism.
• By the end of this course, you'll have a deep understanding of the complete respiration process in plants, helping you ace your NEET and AHSEC exams!
