Why is the final process of aerobic respiration called the electron transport chain?

Oxidation in chemistry is when an electron is stripped from an atom or molecule. In this case, an electron is stripped from the phosphate group in ATP so it can be used for energy, hence oxidative phosphorylation. The electron then moves through several processes that generate energy the cell can use. That's why it is most commonly referred to as the electron transport chain.

Which reactions of aerobic respiration occur in the inner mitochondrial membranes?
Chemiosmosis and the electron transport chain's process
The oxygen consumed during cellular respiration is involved in what process?
Oxygen consumed during cellular respiration is involved in the electron transport chain; it is the final electron acceptor (this is also what makes it either aerobic or anaerobic respiration).
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 is Slowest ATP regeneration process?
Aerobic Respiration
Is the electron transport part of cellular respiration?
Yes, it's ultimate goal is to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), and its end product is a oxygen molecule which then combines with a free floating hydrogen proton to form H2O. The H2O is what is used to start the process of photosynthesis over again because that is where the electron particle comes from to aid in making NADPH (energy).
What stages in the process of aerobic respiration make it an aerobic process?
Because oxygen is the last electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, the electron transport chain makes aerobic respiration aerobic.
Which of cellular respiration are aerobic and which are anaerobic?
Cellular respiration is mostly aerobic.
Which reactions of aerobic respiration occur in the inner mitochondrial membranes?
Chemiosmosis and the electron transport chain's process
During aerobic respiration electrons are passed down the electron transport chain and what is formed?
Aerobic respiration is a cellular level process in which nutrients are changed into energy. The electrons that pass down the electron transport chain react with oxygen (thus, aerobic) and protons to form water.
Whice process of cellular respiration produces the most ATP?
Oxidative Phosphorylation [Chemiosmosis and ETC]
What type of cellular respiration occurs with oxygen?
Aerobic respiration is the type of cellular respiration that requires oxygen. This process involves the release of glucose for energy.Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to be present because it is the final electron acceptor at the end of the electron transport chain. If it is not present, then the electron can not go through the chain and fermentation will cycle instead. Fermentation is much more inefficient in producing ATP (a differenence of 32 ATP).
How many process does have aerobic respiration?
aerobic respiration have 3 processes are: glycol's, Krebs cycle, electrom transport chain :)
In cellular respiration the electron transport chains is an aerobic process because it cannot function without oxygen?
true because you need oxygen to breath
What is the third process of cellular respiration?
After glycolysis and Kreb cycle, the third process is the electron transport chain, from where the most ATP are made.
The oxygen consumed during cellular respiration is involved in what process?
Oxygen consumed during cellular respiration is involved in the electron transport chain; it is the final electron acceptor (this is also what makes it either aerobic or anaerobic respiration).
The aerobic respiration process ends in what area of the eukaryotic cell?
The mitochondria (pyruvate oxidation, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain) and the cytosol (glycolysis).
The Krebs cycle and electron transport chain can produce a total of ATP?
Aerobic respiration (using oxygen) is a high energy yielding process. During the process of aerobic respiration as many as 38 molecules of ATP are produced for every molecule of glucose that is utilized. Thus aerobic respiration process breaks down a single glucose molecule to yield 38 units of the energy storing ATP molecules.
