When electrons move through a series of electron acceptor molecules in cellular respiration ________.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Verizon [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

oxygen is reduced to form water.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration

It is the set of reactions in which the ac. Pyruvic produced by glycolysis is split into CO2 and H2O and 36 ATP are produced. In eukaryotic cells breathing is performed in the mitochondria. It occurs in two stages:

- PIRUVATE OXIDATION

- AC CYCLE TRICARBOXYL

The "problem" with fermentation is that, by using organic molecules as terminal electron acceptors and having to dispose of the resulting product (lactic acid / ethanol) as waste, the potential energy of these compounds is lost.

The alternative solution is to use some non-organic molecule that can accept electrons and thus become a reduced molecule. Oxygen is perfect for this, because after receiving the electrons it combines with two protons, thus becoming the perfect liquid residue for the environment: H2O.

With reference to He-4 (or the diagram), explain the term isotopes.
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Isotopes are basically atoms of an element that have an unequal number of neutrons and protons. Of course the proton number remains the same, but the neutron number either decreases or increases, which leads to an overall change in mass. However, no chemical properties of the atom/element are changed as the electrons are the same number and do not react. In regards to Helium 4, the original number of neutrons in Helium is 2, and protons 2 as well. We see an equal number of neutrons and protons, hence an unchanged mass, and the element is <em>not</em> an isotope.
