The electron transport chain is aerobic because it requires oxygen to function. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the chain, allowing for the production of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. In contrast, anaerobic processes do not require oxygen and can occur in the absence of oxygen.

Which of cellular respiration are aerobic and which are anaerobic?

Cellular respiration is mostly aerobic.


Why is the electron transport chain characterized as aerobic?

Aerobic respiration - final electron acceptor is oxygen (O) Anaerobic respiration - final electron acceptor can besulfate (SO42-), nitrate (NO3-), sulfur (S), or fumarate....


What are the 3 metabolic pathways and which are aerobic?

The three metabolic pathways are glycolysis, the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle), and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis can occur in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The citric acid cycle and electron transport chain are aerobic processes that require oxygen to generate ATP efficiently.


Is The electron transport chain is an anaerobic process.?

Yes it is.


What substance does aerobic respiration use that anaerobic respiration does not use?

Aerobic respiration uses oxygen as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, while anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen and uses other molecules such as nitrate, sulfate, or carbon dioxide.


Where in the cell Krebs cycle and electron transport chain occur and whether they are anaerobic or aerobic?

The Krebs cycle (also known as the citric acid cycle) occurs in the mitochondrial matrix and is a key part of cellular respiration, which is aerobic. The electron transport chain takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane and is also part of aerobic respiration. Both processes require oxygen to generate ATP efficiently.


What is aerobic phosphorylation?

Aerobic phosphorylation is the process by which cells produce ATP using oxygen as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain. This process occurs in the mitochondria and is highly efficient at generating ATP compared to anaerobic processes.


Where does cellular respiration ends?

Aerobic respiration ends in mitochondria. Anaerobic in the cytoplasm


Does anaerobic cellular fermentation use the same final electron acceptors as aerobic respiration?

No, because the electron acceptor is what cates the electrons as the leave the electron transport chain, which is oxygen in aerobic respiration. Since aerobic respiration uses oxygen, and anaerobic fermentation is abest of oxygen, anaerobic fermentation cannot possibly use oxygen as respiration does.


What parts of the body do the aerobic cellular respiration takes place?

The electron transport chain is the aerobic step of cellular respiration. Oxygen is the last electron acceptor in the electron transport chain. The last step in aerobic respiration is the bonding of 2 electrons, 2 protons, and oxygen to form water. The water leaves the electron transport chain, freeing up a place for another oxygen molecule so that the electron transport chain does not stop.


What is the name of the process of resperation that does not require oxygen?

anaerobic respiration there is also fermentation, which is like anaerobic respiration but does not have an electron transport chain


What are the aerobic processes in cellular respiration?

There are two aerobic steps.Kreb cycle and Electron transport chain .
