    Therefore, less ATP is made by the electron-transport chain. Lower ATP concentrations cause the electron-transport chain to be more reactive and generate more heat from the respiration of fatty acids.

  • How ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is formed

    Both are highly efficient energy conserving processes. 2. Both involve the flow of electrons through a chain of Redox intermediates, membrane-bound carriers and iron-sulfur proteins. 3. Both involve the active transport process. 4.

  • Glycolysis Pathway questions

    . 3 molecules of NADH are formed during one turn of the Krebs cycle, resulting in the production of 9 ATP molecules through the electron transport chain. 1 molecule of FADH2 is formed for each turn of the Krebs cycle, providing the energy for the synthesis

    Because of this, a wide variety of training methods are used to improve cardio respiratory endurance. Aerobic exercise uses oxygen to produce most of the body's energy needs.

  • Electron Transport

    NADH and FADH2 that are produced by glycolysis, the citric acid cycle and fatty acid oxidation are oxidized by the respiratory electron-transport chain in the mitochondrion.

  • comparative respiratory information

    This is so because their cells have to use oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor in the electron transport chain in the biochemical production of cellular energy.

  • Human respiratory system and TB infection

    Oxygen is required for many body metabolisms, most importantly it is the ultimate source of electron acceptor in the chain reactions that lead to production of ATP, a major energy source.

  • Plants ability to overcome cyanide poisoning

    Since cytochrome c oxidase makes up Complex IV of the electron transport chain, ATP cannot be formed and energy production is arrested.
