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.
