Question
Neha while learning for her test, got confused how aerobic pyruvic acid is transported to mitochondria for further oxidation. She asked her elder sister (who is a graduate in biology) about this and also asked her to explain the same process in detail. Her sister explained her that it gets completely oxidised into $\mathrm{CO}_2$ and water along with the formation of ATP.
  1. Mention the sites in the mitochondria, where these events occur.
  2. What happens to pyruvic acid before it enters 'Krebs' cycle?
  3. Write the summary equation for the 'Krebs' cycle.
  4. Mention the value implicit through Neha's character.

Answer

  1. Mitochondrial matrix, and electron transport particles.
  2. It is converted into acetyl Co-A
  3. $\text{Pyruvic acid}+4\text{NAD}+\text{FAD}^++2\text{H}_2\text{O}+\text{ADP}+\text{Pi}$
$\xrightarrow[\text{matrix}]{\text{Mitochondrial}}3\text{CO}_2+4\text{NADH}+4\text{H}^++\text{FADP}+\text{ATP}$
  1. Neha is attentive, inquisitive and listens patiently to the explanation provided.

Sunday morning Abhishek and his friends emptied all the overhead tanks belonging to flat owners who were not residing in their apartments for the last few months. On their return, the owners complained about their empty tanks. Some elderly people even spoke against Abhishek and his friends. Abhishek humbly apologised for the inconvenience caused. He explained that water in the tanks had become stagnant and become a breeding ground for mosquitoes which will give rise to malaria. The people appreciated the boys.
  1. What values are reflected by Abhishek in the above case?
  2. What is the causal agent of malaria and how does it reach human body?
  3. How many phases the causal organism undergoes in its life cycle?
  4. As an individual what can you do to avoid malaria in your neighbourhood?
