Study Notes

Aerobic Respiration

  • The primary role of oxygen in aerobic respiration is to act as the final electron acceptor, allowing the electron transport chain to generate ATP.
  • Oxygen is required for aerobic respiration to take place.
  • Carbon dioxide is the gas produced in aerobic respiration.

Absence of Oxygen

  • In the absence of oxygen, glucose is converted to lactic acid or ethanol through fermentation.

Features of Respiration Pathways

  • Glycolysis: occurs in the cytoplasm, breaks down glucose into pyruvate, and generates ATP and NADH.
  • Pyruvic oxidation: converts pyruvate into acetyl-CoA, producing NADH and CO2.
  • Krebs cycle: generates ATP, NADH, and FADH2 from acetyl-CoA.
  • Electron transport chain: generates ATP using electrons from NADH and FADH2.

Aerobic vs Anaerobic Respiration

  • The main difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration is the presence or absence of oxygen, respectively.

Electron Transport Chain

  • The final electron acceptor for the electron transport chain is oxygen.
  • The final product of the electron transport chain is ATP.
  • The electron transport chain takes place in the mitochondria.

Fermentation

  • Fermentation requires oxygen to convert NADH to NAD.
  • The final product of alcohol fermentation is ethanol and CO2.

Other Key Facts

  • NAD+ is required to pick up electrons as the reactions continue in aerobic cellular respiration.
  • If there is no NAD+ present, the reactions will stop.
  • Running in place, as mentioned in the additional context, is an example of aerobic respiration taking place.
  • Oxygen is essential for generating ATP during aerobic cellular respiration.
  • Coenzyme A is needed to convert pyruvic acid to acetyl-CoA.
