56

Cellular respiration is the process of making ATP through the breakdown of glucose. The cells use ATP to drive chemical reactions and processes, and ATP is the main energy source for us.
57
What is the importance of NAD+ and FAD? Why is it important for NADH and FADH2 to be converted back into NAD+ and FAD.
They link to electrons and H+ ions and turn into NADH and FADH2. These then carry the electrons and H+ to the last step where they are used to produce ATP. NAD+ and FAD then go back to the start to pick up more electrons.
58
How do the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis work together? What is the result?
The ETC takes electrons into carrier proteins that act as pumps to create a high gradient of H+ from the matrix and into the intermembrane space. The gradient then goes into the ATP synthase where it is converted into ATP.
