Cellular respiration is the set of the metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate, and then release waste products. The two types of electron carriers used in cellular respiration are FADH2 and NADH.

What are two high energy electron carriers used in cellular respiration that are not used in photosynthesis?
What are the two new high energy electron carriers used during cellular respiration that are different than the one used for photosynthesis.
What molecules serve as intermediate electron carriers in the process of cellular respiration?
They can accept electrons and transfer mos of their energy to another Molecule.
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.
Why does cellular respiration produce electron carriers instead of ATP?
ATP are energy currency of cells, they provide energy for a particular reaction by breaking down into ADP+inorganic phosphate
Electrons are brought to the electron transport by what high energy electron carriers?
NADP if photosynthesis. NAD or FAD if cellular respiration.

What is the major role of oxidative phosphorylation in cellular respiration?
To produce ATP from the high energy electron carriers NADH and FADH2.

Does cellular respiration use NADPH as its electron carrier?
No. Cellular respiration uses NADH as an electron carrier. NADPH is used in photosynthesis.

NADP if photosynthesis. NAD or FAD if cellular respiration.
What is the purpose of the electrons in cellular respiration?

What is the terminal electron acceptor in aerobic cellular respiration?
NAD+ is the first electron acceptor in cellular respiration (O2 is the final acceptor).
What are organisms called that use organic compounds as electron donors in cellular respiration?
Lithotrophs are organisms that use inorganic compounds as electron donors in cellular respiration.
What is the electron acceptor in aerobic cellular respiration?
oxygen
What is the final electron acceptor in cellular respiration'?
Oxygen is required to live without it we die
