easy MCQ 1 mark Class 7 · Science · Respiration in Organisms
  1. Glycolysis
  2. Citric Acid Cycle
  3. Photosynthesis
  4. Oxidative Phosphorylation
Answer
Photosynthesis

The correct answer is Photosynthesis — Step 4: Conclude that photosynthesis is the correct answer.

Step-by-step solution

  1. Step 1: List the processes involved in cellular respiration: glycolysis, citric acid cycle, electron transport chain, oxidative phosphorylation.
  2. Step 2: Identify the options provided: glycolysis, citric acid cycle, photosynthesis, oxidative phosphorylation.
  3. Step 3: Recognise that photosynthesis is a process of converting light energy into chemical energy and does not occur during cellular respiration.
  4. Step 4: Conclude that photosynthesis is the correct answer.
Common mistake: Confusing photosynthesis with respiration

Concept tested: Cellular respiration steps
