ATP synthase, powered by a proton gradient generated in the electron transport chain using the NADPH generated by the Kreb's - or citric acid - cycle.
Yes. In cellular respiration a cell uses small amounts of ATP to create larger amounts of it. ATP= adenosine triphosphate, a molecule cells use for energy.

The mitochondria is most closely involved in cellular respiration!

Cellular respiration is the life function involved in changing the energy stored in food to a more useful form for the cells to use.

cellular respiration
ATP is not produced directly by the ETC but instead via the proton gradient generated during electron transport through the ETC.
respiration
It does not require glucose directly. In cellular respiration any molecule that is within the pathway and is available can be used in cellular respiration. But in lamen explanation glucose is the most popular example used in the beginning of the aerobic repiration pathway.
Glucose
The only carbohydrate capable of directly producing energy by cellular respiration is glucose. This is a monosaccharide that contains six carbon molecules that is produced in plants through the process of photosynthesis and in animals it is produced by the metabolism of carbohydrates.
Cellular respiration is the life function involved in changing the energy stored in food to a more useful form for the cells to use.
Because the main fuel of cellular respiration, glucose, ultimately is produced by plants that preform photosynthesis. Even carnivorous heterotrophs, metabolizing protein and lipids, must depend on herbivores eating the plants directly.
Enzyme ATPase is involved. It binds ADP and Pi
Humans need oxygen for the last step of cellular respiration, the process that generates energy to power cells. This is the only place oxygen is directly used in the body. One important thing to note is that earlier stages of cellular respiration like glycolysis is anaerobic!
