The process that uses NADH and FADH to create ATP is oxidative phosphorylation. This process occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane and involves the transfer of electrons from NADH and FADH to the electron transport chain, leading to the production of ATP through a series of redox reactions.

What process uses NADH and FADH2 to produce ATP?

Glycolysis


Which organelle uses energy from sunlight to make energy-rich food?

Chloroplasts are the main source of ATP (the cell's energy) for the cell to use. This is the only organelle structure that uses photosynthesis to create glucose, which is then made into NADH and ATP.


A Kinase is an enzyme that a) Uses NADH to change the oxidation stateb) Produces ATP at many steps in glycolysisc) Uses ATP to add phosphorus groupd) None of these?

c) Uses ATP to add phosphorus group


How does a plant use CO2 and H2O?

A plant uses CO2 and H20 along with sunlight to create energy. This process is called photosynthesis.


Best explains why aerobic respiration is more energy efficient than anaerobic respiration?

Aerobic respiration produces 36 ATP from one glucose molecules. Anaerobic respiration produces only 2. Two glucose molecules are produced during glycolysis. In addition to producing ATP from ADP, glycolysis also converts NAD+ to NADH. If no oxygen is available, more energy needs to be produced from glycolysis. However, for glycolysis to occur, NAD+ must be regenerated from NADH. Thus, in a process known as anaerobic fermentation, NAD+ is regenerated from NADH. Fermentation doe snot fully oxydize glucose. After glycolysis, the glucose molecule has been converted into two molecules of pyruvate. Fermentation uses pyruvate to convert NAD+ back to NADH so it can be used for another round of glycolysis. If oxygen is present, the two pyruvate molecules from glycolysis can be fully oxydized in a process known as aerobic respiration. This process consists of the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain. The process is beyond the scope of this post, but aerobic respiration basically produces more NADH and FADH2 from pyruvate and uses the NADH/FADH2 molecules to oxydize O2 to H2O. The Krebs cycle produces 2 ATP and the electron transport chain produces 32 ATP. Thus, aerobic respiration is a far more efficient means of energy production.

What is the significance of NADH in cellular respiration and how does it contribute to the production of ATP?

NADH is important in cellular respiration because it carries high-energy electrons that are used to generate ATP, the cell's main energy source. During the process of cellular respiration, NADH donates these electrons to the electron transport chain, which then uses them to create a proton gradient that drives the production of ATP through a process called oxidative phosphorylation. In essence, NADH helps convert the energy stored in food molecules into ATP, which is essential for various cellular functions.


How many net molecules of ATP are produced during glycosis?

What is the role of NADH in cellular respiration?

Within the context of cellular respiration (as well as in photosynthesis) NADH acts as an electron receptor. During glycolysis and the Kreb's cycle, various molecules are oxidized (lose electrons) and these electrons are passed to NADH. The NADH then carries the electrons to the mitochondria where they are deposited for the electron transport chain which uses the movement of the electrons to generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate; the body's energy molecule).

How many NADH molecules are produced during the stages of aerobic respiration?

10 NADH molecules are produced in total. 2 during glycolysis, 2 during link reaction (1 per pyruvate, 2 per glucose molecule), and 6 during the Krebs cycle. None during the electron transport chain.
