Why more atp is produced in aerobic respiration than in anaerobic respiration

1 answer:

4 0

Most of the ATP produced by aerobic cellular respiration is made by oxidative phosphorylation. This works by the energy released in the consumption of pyruvate being used to create a chemiosmotic potential by pumping protons across a membrane.

<span>Aerobic metabolism is 19 times more efficient than anaerobic metabolism (which yields 2 mol ATP per 1 mol glucose). They share the initial pathway of glycolysis but aerobic metabolism continues with the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. The post glycolytic reactions take place in the mitochondria in eukaryotic cells, and in the cytoplasm in prokaryotic cells.</span>

Describe the main molecule found in nucleus and explain how it controls the cells functioning

SCORPION-xisa [38]

The main molecule found in nucleus is called DNA(deoxyribonucleic acid). This molecule is made of subunits called nucleotides. A nucleotide is made of a nitrogenous base that can be adenine, thymine, guanine or cytosine; a five carbon sugar called deoxyribose and a phosphate group. This molecule controns protein synthesis. Proteins are crucial to the cell's function.
