Question

Which of the following sequences describes the path by which electrons travel downhill energetically in aerobic respiration

Answer 1

Answer:

glucose → NADH → electron transport chain → oxygen.

Explanation:

Aerobic respiration is also called as cellular respiration, in which electrons are picked up by the FADH, and NADH from the food. Then through a proton pump electrons are transferred to the electron transport chain, in this, the activity of the proton pump generates an electrochemical gradient, then this gradient used by the ATP synthase enzyme to produce ATP.

In aerobic respiration, the last acceptor of electron is oxygen. An electron is donated to oxygen for the formation of the water.
