Q

How does a hibernating bear survive 7 months without eating and drinking. Don`t forget that the bear is exhaling H2O

Study These Flashcards

What process of cellular respiration makes water? where
Complex 4 in the mitochondrial matrix
51
Where in the mitochondria does the buildup of H+ occur?
Intermembrane space
52
Why is oxygen the most effective of all electron acceptors?
because of its high electronegativity
53
Why do cells in anarobic respiration make less ATP than does an aerobic respiration system?
cells that do not use O2 cannot generate such a large potential energy difference, so cannot make as much ATP

oxidative phosphorylation
55
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ is a metabloic pathway that regenerates NAD+ from stockpiles of NADH and allows glycolysis to continue producting ATP in the absence of the the electron acceptor required by the ETC
