Match the items in column A with their respective properties in column B.
| Column-A | Column-B |
| i. Glucose | a. Intermidiate substance in breakdown of glucose |
| ii. Yeast | b. Glucose is converted into pyruvic acid |
| iii. Glycolysis | c. Uses nutrients for fermentation process |
| iv. Pyruvic acid | d. Best organic substrate for respiration |
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. i-d, ii-c, iii-b, iv-a.
i. Glucose - d. Best organic substrate for respiration
ii. Yeast - c. Uses nutrients for fermentation process
iii. Glycolysis - b. Glucose is converted into pyruvic acid
iv. Pyruvic acid - a. Intermediate substance in the breakdown of glucose
Glucose acts as the primary organic substrate in respiration. Yeast ferments nutrients to produce energy. Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway where glucose converts into pyruvic acid. Pyruvic acid serves as an intermediate in cellular respiration and further energy-producing pathways.
