Biology textbooks often state that 38 ATP molecules can be made per oxidized glucose molecule during cellular respiration (2 from glycolysis, 2 from the Krebs cycle, and about 34 from the electron transport system).

When there is not enough oxygen for aerobic respiration what is that called?

During times of insufficient oxygen, the cell undergoes glycolysis, where 2 existing molecules of ATP can form 4 molecules and pyruvic acid. This is an insignificant amount compared to 38 molecules of ATP made by the cellular respiration, which is why it is important to always have enough oxygen.


How many atp are produced in cell respiration?

3/4 of the ATP is made in respiration To build on the original answer: 36 ATP are produced from glycolosis to Electron Chain Transport with oxygen being the final electron acceptor. Some sources cite that anywhere between 28 and 36 ATP are produced but if you plan on taking the MCAT if this question is asked the answer is 36.


What Food molecules contain biochemical energy which is made available?

Food molecules containing biochemical energy include carbohydrates, lipids (fats), and proteins. These molecules are broken down during digestion to release energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which cells can use for various functions like metabolism and growth.


A total of four ATP molecules are used to fuel aerobic respiration in eukaryotic cells Where are these four ATP molecules used?

Two molecules are used to start glycolysis, and two are used to move NADH made during glycolysis into the mitochondria.


What is the main difference between the starting compounds of fermentation and cellular respiration?

Their starting compound are different because fermentation takes in 2NAD+ and 2ADP molecules and changes them into 2NADH and 2ATP and 2 pyruvic acid molecules, while cellular respiration takes in electrons through electron carriers. What was this guy thinking when he made this answer....

What stage of cellular respiration yields to the most ATP?

NADH. In oxidative phosphorylation, for every NADH, around 2.5 ATP molecules are made, and for every FADH2 about 1.5 ATP molecules are made.


How many ATP are made in aerobic cellular respiration?

Glycolysis is a 10 step enzymatically catalyzed reaction which splits up a glucose molecule into two molecules of pyruvate. The process of glycolysis can occur in absence of oxygen. A net yield of 2 ATP is obtained at the end of gylcolysis for every molecule of glucose oxidized.


1.)Why are methods of anaerobic respiration such as fermentation less efficient than aerobic respiration?

Cellular respiration is more efficient than fermentation. Cellular respiration produces approximately 36-38 ATP molecules, while fermentation produces only 2 ATP, which is a significant loss in usable energy.


What is the areobic step in cellular respiration?

In Cellular Respiration, there are two ways of making ATP: Aerobic and Anaerobic. These processes occur in the Mitochondria. The first step of Aerobic Respiration is anaerobic (Yes, it's a bit confusing). This step is called Glycolysis, the process of turning Glucose into Pyruvate Acids, NADP, and ADP. From here is where Aerobic Respiration occurs if there is oxygen present. It goes on into Citric Acid Cycle, where it adds Hydrogen ions to the NADP, FAD, and ADP to make high-energy molecules. Next is the Electron Transport Chain, where the rest of the ATP is made. In all, around 36 ATP is made.


Why plant cell don't perform cellular respiration?

Plants do excrete carbon dioxide as metabolic waste. Carbon dioxide is a waste product of aerobic cellular respiration, just like in humans. The carbon dioxide is excreted through the stomata on the plant's leaves.


What is the process of breaking down sugars in the presence of oxygen?

aerobic respiration basically its first step is called glycolysis and is further divded in two forms either aerobic which occur in presence of o2 and anaerobic in absences of oxygen Exactly so to answer the question the process the REQUIRES O2 is aerobic respiration like i said.

How many ATP are made in the electron transport of the cellular respiration?

Approximately 34 ATP molecules are generated during the electron transport chain stage of cellular respiration. This is the highest number of ATP molecules produced in the entire process of cellular respiration, making it a crucial step in energy production for the cell.


How molecules which cells use to store energy is made?

Cells store energy in the form of molecules such as ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through processes like cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in a series of biochemical reactions to produce ATP, which can then be used as an energy source by the cell. The energy produced from breaking down glucose is stored in the high-energy bonds of ATP molecules.
