with oxygen

19
Q

Which of the stages in anaerobic?

A

glycolysis

20
Q

Which of the stages is aerobic?

A

Kreb Cycle and the electron transport chain

21
Q

How do cell respiration and photosynthesis compare

A

Photosynthesis deposits energy while CR withdraws or energy, they are opposites on a global level, the waste products of one are the raw materials for the other

22
Q

What are NADH and FADH2?

A

energy carrying molecules

23
Q

Where do NADH and FADH2 carry their energy?

A

in their electrons

24
Q

Why are NADH and FADH2 so important?

A

they provide the energy (electrons) that will power the making of ATP in the last stage during oxidative phosphorylation

25
Q

Why are the stages of glycolysis and the kreb cycle so important?

A

They provide the energy carrying molecules NADH and FADH2 that will power the making of ATP in the last stage

26
Q

Who is the reduced in the last stage, oxidative phosphorylation?

A

oxygen

27
Q

When oxygen is reduced what does it form?
