16
Q

Krebs cycle: at this stage of cellular respiration, the oxidation of ___to___is completed.

A

glucose
CO2
*CO2 is a byproduct

17
Q

What does the electron transport system consist of?

A

a series of enzymes on the inner mitochondrial membrane (cristae)

18
Q

___electrons are relased from NADH and from FADH2 and as they are passed along the series of enzymes, they give up___which is used to fuel as process called____.

A

H+
energy
chemiosmosis

19
Q

What is chemiosmosis?

A

By which H+ ions are actively transported across the inner mitochondiral membrane into the outer mitochondrial compartment. The H+ ions then flow back through special pores in the membrane a process that is thought to drive the process of ATP synthesis

20
Q

What is the net yield of Electron Transport System ATP per glucose molecule.

A

34

21
Q

At the end of the electron transport system, how many H2Oare formed when the electrons united with O2 at the end of the electron transport chain?

A

6

22
Q

What is the function of oxygen in living orgnaisms.

A

6H2O are formed when teh electrons unite with O2 at the end of electron transport chian.

23
Q

What is anaerobic respiration?
