Enzymes & Electron Carriers in Cellular Respiration

Question 1

What molecules are used in aerobic respiration (oxidized)?

Answer 1

NADH, FADH2, and NADPH

Question 2

Electron carriers will travel to the (—1—). Through a series of connected steps, the (—2—) that these carry provide energy to pump (—3—) into the intermembrane space. These then to diffuse out of the intermembrane space through a (—4—) called ATP synthase. When they diffuse through this, the energy released is used to make (—5—).

Answer 2

1 = ETC, 2 = ATP, 3 = Protons, 4 = protein complex, 5 = ATP

Question 3

Would respiration be able to happen without Enzymes?

Answer 3

No, without Enzymes the reactions would occur too slowly to sustain life processes.
