Summary Introduction

Introduction: Oxidative phosphorylation is the process by which electrons are transferred from NADH or FADH2 to oxygen molecules. This happens through a series of steps in which it passes though many electron carriers and results in the formation of ATP molecules.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Why are electron carriers (NAD+/NADH and FAD/FADH2) so important in the process of cellular respiration? A)NADH and FADH2 are major components of the ETC, so without them, there would be no ETC in the cell. B)They deliver electrons to the ETC, which in turn sets up chemiosmosis, where most of the ATP is generated. C)They separate the electrons from the protons so that the protons can be moved out of the mitochondrion. D)The electrons that they carry are able to directly phosphorylate ADP in order to generate the bulk of ATP in the cell. E) They transport protons across the mitochondrial membrane. 14.
Which feature of anaerobic and aerobic respiration is different? Select one: a.Use of electron transport system b.Use of the Electron Donor c.Use of proton motive force d.None of the Above e.Use of the Electron Acceptor
In aerobic respiration when is carbon dioxide produced? (a) when oxygen is used as the final electron acceptor in oxidative phosphorylation                     (b) glycolysis     (c) during substrate level phosphorylation     (d) Krebs cycle                               (e)  when hydrogen is pumped across the inner membrane of the mitochondria
