Do aerobic bacterial species have identical electron acceptors in their electron transport systems?

No, aerobic bacterial species do not have identical electron acceptors in their electron transport systems. Different species may use different electron acceptors such as oxygen, nitrate, or sulfate depending on their metabolic capabilities and environmental conditions.


What terminal electron acceptors are used in anaerobic cellular respiration?

anaerobic cellular respiration has 3 different stages, and their final electron acceptors are: pyruvate oxidation- NAD+ Krebs cycle- NAD+, FAD+ electron transport chain- Oxygen


What are the final electron acceptors in humans?

The final electron acceptors in humans are oxygen molecules. In aerobic respiration, oxygen is used at the end of the electron transport chain to accept electrons and create water as a byproduct. In anaerobic conditions, different final electron acceptors such as sulfate or nitrate may be used.


What reduces sulfur?

Mainly Bacteria, such as Proteus, Campylobactor, Pseudomonas and Salmonella. You can also use oxygen and other terminal electron acceptors.


Which process is called as- Energy releasing metabolic process in which substrate is oxidised without an external electron acceptor?

Fermentation is the process where energy is released by the oxidation of a substrate without the involvement of an external electron acceptor. It allows cells to generate energy in the absence of oxygen by using organic molecules as both electron donors and acceptors.


What are the electron acceptors in the electron transport chain?

The final electron acceptor is oxygen.


How many combinations of electron donors and electron acceptors do microbes utilise to drive their metabolism?

300


Bacteria that do not require aerobic respiration?

Bacteria that do not require aerobic respiration are known as anaerobic bacteria. These bacteria can survive and grow in the absence of oxygen by using alternative electron acceptors in anaerobic pathways such as fermentation or anaerobic respiration. Examples of anaerobic bacteria include Clostridium and Methanogens.


What are the final electron acceptors in aerobic?

The final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration is oxygen, which turns into H20.


What compounds can act as both an electron donor and electron acceptor?

The answer is acids.... "acids are most broadly defined as compounds that are electron pair acceptors."


Why is SiH4 a Lewis Acid?

No. Lewis acids are electron acceptors, forming adducts.


Why do you think bases are often described as the opposite of?

1) Bronsted-Lowry acids are proton donors. Bronsted-Lowry bases are proton acceptors. 2) Lewis acids are electron acceptors. Lewis bases are electron donors.
