What else can I help you with?
Where does oxidative phosphorylation take place in a eukaryote?
Mitochondria
Where does Oxidative metabolism take place?
Oxidative metabolism takes place primarily in the mitochondria of cells. Mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell because they generate the majority of a cell's energy through processes like the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.
What type of cell respirtaion use oxygen?
Aerobic cellular respiration. Remember, oxidative phosphorylation can take place without the use of oxygen as the final electron acceptor.
What is the purpose of the electrons in cellular respiration?
The purpose of electron carriers such as NADH and FADH2 is to dump electrons at the electron transport chain. This creates a proton gradient and allows oxidative phosphorylation to take place.
Occurs in the mitochondria which organisms take nutrients and oxygen to produce energy?
This process is called oxidative phosphorylation OR cellular respiration
What organelle is the primary focus of cellular respiration?
The mitochondria is where two important steps, the Kreb's cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, of cellular respiration take place. This organelle is central in respiration and is often called "the powerhouse" of the cell.
Which part of cellular respiration takes place in the cristae of the mitochondria?
Aerobic respiration has three main stages: glycolysis, Kreb's cycle and the electron transport chain (oxidative phosphorylation). Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm. The other two stages take place in the mitochondria.
What chemical substance must be provided from outside the cell for aerobic respiration to take place?
glucose and oxygen
Which stages of energy metabolism occur in which compartments of the mitochondrion?
Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, followed by pyruvate entering the mitochondria for the TCA cycle in the mitochondrial matrix. Electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation take place in the inner mitochondrial membrane space.
What two things do you need for aerobic respiration to take place?
You need oxygen as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, and glucose as the initial energy source to undergo glycolysis and generate ATP through the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.
What is the purpose of electron carriers in cellular respiration?
The purpose of electron carriers such as NADH and FADH2 is to dump electrons at the electron transport chain. This creates a proton gradient and allows oxidative phosphorylation to take place.
Which part is the region where metabolic reactions take place?
The region where metabolic reactions take place is primarily within the cell's cytoplasm and mitochondria. In the cytoplasm, various metabolic pathways, such as glycolysis, occur, while the mitochondria are responsible for aerobic respiration and energy production through the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Together, these areas facilitate the conversion of nutrients into energy and the synthesis of molecules essential for cellular function.
