Why does electron transport shut down if oxygen is not available?
Oxygen is the last electron acceptor in the electron transport chain of aerobic cellular respiration. During the process, it combines with the transported electrons and hydrogen ions, forming water as a waste product, which is then removed from the electron transport chain. In order to keep the electron transport chain going, a new oxygen molecule takes the place of the "used" oxygen, and will eventually also combine with electrons and hydrogen ions, and it continues like this as long as the organism lives. Without oxygen, the electron transport chain would stop due to the fact that the transported electrons and hydrogen ions would have nowhere to go, so the transport chain can no longer function, terminating the production of ATP.
The pressure that builds in a plant cell as a result of osmosis is called?
The pressure that builds in a plant cell as a result of osmosis is called turgor pressure.
The primary function of NADH and FADH2 is?
The primary function of NADH and FADH2 is to transfer electrons in cellular respiration. These molecules are key players in the electron transport chain, where they donate electrons to help generate ATP, the cell's energy currency.
What other consequences might result from electron carriers in the etc being bypassed?
Bypassing electron carriers in the electron transport chain (ETC) can lead to a decrease in ATP production, disrupt the proton gradient necessary for ATP synthase activity, and increase the production of reactive oxygen species which can damage cells and tissues.
What is the result of cascade of electrons down the electron transport chains of the light reactions?
Oxygen
Is the final electron accept at the end of the electron transport system.?
In respiration,it is oxygen. It produces water as a result
What is the end result of the electron transport chain?
The result of ETC is 32 ATP and H2O
What role does ATP have in the electron transport chain?
ATP is produced as a result of the ETC and chemiosmosis.
What are the two processes that together result in celluar respiration?
glycolyis, Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.
How does an electron transport chain result in gradual release of energy stored in glucose?
That's what i'm trying to find out, too :(
Can the kreb's cylce occur if there is no oxygen?
No, the Krebs cycle requires oxygen as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain to function properly. Without oxygen, the electron transport chain cannot proceed, leading to a buildup of molecules that inhibit the Krebs cycle. This can result in the Krebs cycle slowing down or ceasing altogether.
What would be the most immediate result if complex II of the electron transport chain suddenly stopped working?
Buildup of succinate in the mitochondrial matrix
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"
Why would a decreased supply of oxygen result in decreased ATP production?
A decreased supply of oxygen leads to decreased ATP production because oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, which is essential for generating ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. Without adequate oxygen, the electron transport chain cannot function optimally, resulting in reduced ATP production.
What DCMU inhibits electron transport in chloroplast by preventing the reduction?
DCMU (3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea) inhibits electron transport in chloroplasts by blocking the plastoquinone binding site in photosystem II. This prevents the reduction of plastoquinone and disrupts the flow of electrons in the photosynthetic electron transport chain. As a result, the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis are impaired, leading to decreased ATP and NADPH production. Consequently, this inhibition affects overall photosynthetic efficiency and plant growth.
