In which of the following aerobic respiration stages does a chain of several electrons transport molecules and release energy to form a proton gradient?
A) Formation of acetyl CoA
B) Citric acid cycle
C) Electron transport and chemiosmosis
D) Glycolysis
E) Dehydrogenations
Electron Transport
A series of chemical reactions that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via redox reactions and couples this electron transfer with the transfer of protons (H+ ions) across a membrane.
Proton Gradient
A gradient of hydrogen ions across a membrane, often used in the process of generating ATP in cells, particularly within the mitochondria during cellular respiration.
Aerobic Respiration
A metabolic process that converts oxygen and glucose into energy in the form of ATP, water, and carbon dioxide, taking place in the mitochondria.
- Obtain an understanding of the principal elements and steps involved in cellular respiration, particularly glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
- Explain the role and mechanisms of the electron transport chain and the ATP synthase complex in producing ATP.
