The below mentioned article provides a study-note on the light compensation point and Pasteur’s effect. Light CompenÂsation Point: It is well known that in green plants respiration occurs continuously for 24 hours while photosynthesis occurs only during the day when light is available. Some of the organic matter produced during photosynthesis is oxidised during respiration while rest is stored by [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between oxidative phosphorylation and photophosphorylation. Difference # Oxidative Phosphorylation: 1. It takes place during aerobic respiration (a catabolic process) on cristae in mitochondria. 2. It occurs during terminal oxidation of reduced coenzymes generated in glycolysis and Krebs' cycle with molecular oxygen. 3. It is independent of light. 4. It is associated [...]
The following points highlight the ten factors affecting the the rate of aerobic respiration. The factors are: (1) Protoplasmic Conditions (2) Temperature (3) Supply of Oxidisable Food (4) Oxygen Concentration of the Atmosphere (5) Carbon Dioxide Concentration of the Atmosphere (6) Supply of Water (7) Light (8) Inorganic Salts (9) Injury and the Effects of Mechanical Stimulation and (10) Effect [...]
