Ribose sugar, adenine and 3 inorganic phosphate molecules
7 of 16
Definition of respiration?
The process by which energy stored in complex molecules is released to produce ATP.
8 of 16

2
11 of 16
What kind of respiration occurs when oxygen is not available in yeast cells?
Ethanol fermentaion
12 of 16
Where does oxidative phosphorylation occur?
Inner-mitochondrial membrane (cristae)
13 of 16
What is chemiosmosis?
The flow of protons, down their concentration gradient, across the mitochondrial membrane and through a channel associated with ATPsynthase.
14 of 16
How many ATP molecules does oxidative phosphorylation produce?
28
15 of 16
Why does respiration not occur if oxygen is absent?
Oxygen cannot act as the final electron acceptor, reduced NAD and FAD cannot unload their hydrogen ions, Krebs, link and Oxidative Phosphorylation cease.
