What molecule lose electrons in cell respiration?

In the third stage of cellular respiration (Electron Transport Chain), electrons are lost from the NADH and FADH2 molecules. These electrons travel down the electron transport chain which is in the inner membrane of the mitochondria and result in being reactants for the formation of H2O.


What is a series of biochemical reactions that release carbon dioxide and result in fermation of ATP?

I think you are looking for either "the citric acid cycle" or "the electron transport chain"


How is glucose broken down in anaerobic respiration?

As a result of anaerobic metabolism in cells, glucose is converted in the cytoplasm to lactic acid without employing the electron transport change.

What is emitted by an atom as a result of electron capture?

After electron capture a neutrino is released.


Why ions with charges greater than 3 are seldom found in ionic compounds?

This is because the ionisation energy is too large for releasing the third electron to form chemical compounds or the electron affinity is too low for gaining the third electron when forming a chemical compound which will result in a low lattice energy to stabilise the ion.
