A

Cellular Respiration

27
Q

–Uses oxygen as a final electron acceptor

–Glucose + ADP + O2 ATP + CO2 + H2O

–Four steps in overall pathway

  1. •Glycolysis
  2. •Acetyl CoA synthesis
  3. •Krebs cycle
  4. •Electron Transport Chain (chemiosmosis)

–Produces 34-36 ATP

A

Aerobic Respiration

28
Q

•NAD+

–Required coenzyme for

  1. •Glycolysis
  2. •Acetyl-CoA synthesis
  3. •Krebs cycle

–Reduced to NADH during these processes

–Oxidized back to NAD+ at electron transport chain

A

Aerobic Respiration

29
Q
  • –Uses an electron transport system and chemiosmosis
  • –Uses an inorganic oxygen containing molecule as the final electron acceptor
  • –NO3-, SO4-2, CO2
  • –Less efficient than aerobic respiration, produces less than 34 ATP per glucose
  • •Does NOT occur in eukaryotes
