Solution
1: C Mitochondria; The given image shows mitochondria as the inner membrane is shown like
finger like projections which is characteristic feature of mitochondria.
2: B Aerobic respiration; Mitochondria are the double membrane bound organelles which serve
as site for aerobic respiration. The Kreb cycle and electron transport chain take place in it.
3: B Carbon dixoide; CO2 is the product of Kreb cycle. Glucose enters the glycoysis and forms
pyruvic acid which in turn enters the Kreb cycle in form of Acetyl CoA and is decarboxylated.
