Introduction:

The yeast is a eukaryotic cell. The mitochondria of the yeast cell generate the energy required by the cell by the process of aerobic respiration. In this process, the transfer of electrons takes place from a compound with negative reduction potential to the compound with positive reduction potential. The biochemical processes like the glycolysis, the citric acid pathwa, ynd electron transport chain are included in the aerobic respiration.
