10 Questions
What is the primary function of oxygen in aerobic respiration, and what is the resulting product?
Oxygen is used for oxidative phosphorylation, resulting in the production of ATP.
Where is the Electron Transport Chain (ETC) located in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
In prokaryotes, the ETC is located in the plasma membrane, whereas in eukaryotes, it is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
What is the terminal electron acceptor in the Electron Transport Chain of eukaryotic cells?
Molecular oxygen (O2)
How do the Electron Transport Chains of prokaryotes and eukaryotes differ in terms of complexity?
Eukaryotic ETCs are more complex and involve additional electron carriers, whereas prokaryotic ETCs are simpler and have fewer electron carriers.
What is the role of flavoproteins in the electron transport chain?
Flavoproteins act as electron carriers and catalysts for redox reactions.
What is the primary factor that regulates the Electron Transport Chain in eukaryotic cells?
Various factors
What is the difference in ATP production between NADH and FADH2?
NADH produces 3 ATP, while FADH2 produces 2 ATP.
Where is the location of proton pumps in eukaryotic cells during chemiosmosis?
Proton pumps are located in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
What is the function of proton pumps in chemiosmosis?
Proton pumps actively transport protons (H+ ions) across cell membranes, creating an electrochemical gradient.
What is the final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration?
Oxygen (O2) is the final electron acceptor.
Test your knowledge on the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis, crucial components of oxidative phosphorylation in aerobic respiration. Learn about the importance of oxygen in producing ATP and the stages of cellular respiration such as glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
