Does cellular respiration use NADPH as its electron carrier?
No. Cellular respiration uses NADH as an electron carrier. NADPH is used in photosynthesis.
Where in eukaryotic cells does aerobic respiration occur?
In eukaryotic cells respiration occurs in the mitochondria. The reactions of the Krebs cycle occur within the liquid matrix of a mitochondrion. The carrier molecules of the electron transport chain lie on the inside of the inner membrane of a mitochondrion. Cristae increase the surface area of this membrane, increasing the rate of oxidation-reduction reactions. Hope this answers your question.
What is the primary function of aerobic cellular respiration?
The oxygen is needed to break the sugar down.C6H12O6 + O2 => CO2 + H2O + EnergyMore specifically, in the electron transport chain, electrons are being transferred from one carrier to another. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor and is then released as water molecules. The only reason we need to breathe is so that we can have the oxygen molecules there to be the final electron acceptors.
What molecules are the main electron carrier of the Krebs cycle cycle?
NADH and FADH2
What acts like an electron carrier in cellular respiration?
ADP/ATP (adenine-tri- phosphate)

This is the electron carrier in cellular respiration?
In most cases iron shift between ferrous and ferric states to carry and transport electrons in cellular respiration. The cytochrome b and c complexes also play a major role. In aerobic organisms, oxygen is the final electron acceptor in cellular respiration.

What is electron carrier use to transfer energy in cellular respiration?
NADH.
Why is oxygen needed for?
Oxygen is used as an electron carrier in oxidative phosphorylation during aerobic respiration. If there's a lack of oxygen the body starts to respire anaerobically, which is nowhere near sufficient for the body's needs

An electron carrier used to transfer energy in cellular respiration?
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide or NAD+.
Which electron carrier is used in the redox reactions in a cellular respiration?
NAD plus
How is the function of NAD plus similar to that of NADP plus?
NAD is an electron/H carrier in respiration and NADP is an electron/H carrier in photosynthesis.
What function does a mitohondrion perform?
The mitochondria carry out the process of aerobic respiration and produce the energy-carrier molecule ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
