[#753] CO 2 content in soil air is
Correct Answer

(C) 0.25%

Explanation

Solution: Soil gas is also the mixture of all types of gases found in the air space between soil components, if they do not contain water, are filled with air.

[#755] In Cyanide resistant respiratory pathway, electron is transported through
Correct Answer

(D) AoX or Alternate Oxidase

Explanation

Solution: In Cyanide resistant respiratory pathway, the electron is transported through AoX or Alternate Oxidase. The flow of electrons from reduced coenzymes to ubiquinone is the same as in the usual mitochondrial electron transport chain. Cyanide Resistant Respiration (CRR) is a widespread metabolic pathway among yeasts, that involves a mitochondrial alternative oxidase sensitive to Salicyl Hydroxamic Acid (SHAM).
