Which moleculs loses electrons in cellular respiration?
glucose--> novanet
What happens to electrons during cellular respiration?
They lose potential energy.
Do All living things on Earth use cellular respiration for energy transformations?
Yes. Cellular respiration is really awesome because it occurs in all eukaryotic organisms (although it does not occur in all eukaryotic cells). Cellular respiration happens in the mitochondria of a cell. The overall goal of cellular respiration is to make ATP (adenosine triphosphate- a handy little molecule that is used for energy in all organisms) and energy carriers (take energized electrons and join them to other stuff). Hope this helps! ;D
Oxygen is required to conduct cellular respiration?
Yes, it is required for cellular respiration. It is due to the affinity of electrons towards oxygen that enables mitochondria to harvest energy for the cell.
Is fermentation the opposite process of cellular respiration?
No, fermentation is another form of respiration. It occurs when there is no final acceptor for the electrons in the transport chain. The opposite process of cellular respiration is photosynthesis because it builds up the molecules that respiration breaks down.
What molecules serve as intermediate electron carriers in the process of cellular respiration?
They can accept electrons and transfer mos of their energy to another Molecule.
What are thylacoids?
They are one of the energy carriers of cellular respiration
What is the purpose of electron carriers in cellular respiration?
The purpose of electron carriers such as NADH and FADH2 is to dump electrons at the electron transport chain. This creates a proton gradient and allows oxidative phosphorylation to take place.
What is the purpose of the electrons in cellular respiration?
The purpose of electron carriers such as NADH and FADH2 is to dump electrons at the electron transport chain. This creates a proton gradient and allows oxidative phosphorylation to take place.
Identify the electron carriers of cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is the set of the metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate, and then release waste products. The two types of electron carriers used in cellular respiration are FADH2 and NADH.
What are two high energy electron carriers used in cellular respiration that are not used in photosynthesis?
What are the two new high energy electron carriers used during cellular respiration that are different than the one used for photosynthesis.
Molecule loses electrons in cellular respiration?
glucose
Electrons are brought to the electron transport by what high energy electron carriers?
NADP if photosynthesis. NAD or FAD if cellular respiration.
What process harvests electrons from carbon compounds?
cellular respiration
Which moleculs loses electrons in cellular respiration?
glucose--> novanet
What is the main difference between the starting compounds of fermentation and cellular respiration?
Their starting compound are different because fermentation takes in 2NAD+ and 2ADP molecules and changes them into 2NADH and 2ATP and 2 pyruvic acid molecules, while cellular respiration takes in electrons through electron carriers. What was this guy thinking when he made this answer....
What are the energy carriers of cellular respiration?
One, to the tune of 98 percent, is termed Atp; the other 2 percent are Gtp and Utp.
