Q

can glycolysis still be preformed without O2, if so How?

A

yes, the final e- acceptor will ether be another inorganic molecule such as nitrate, sulfate or carbonate (anaerobic resp.) or the final e- will be an organic molecule (fermentation).

Q

in fermentation why is the regeneration of NAD+ necessary?

A

NAD+ carries e- to the final organic electron acceptor, without available e- carriers glycolysis cannot continue.

Q

Chemiosmosis

A

When water is being produced by a concentration gradient developed by the pumping of protons as e- are passed down the ETC; process by which H2Ois formed as a waste product during the making of ATP. Oxidative phos. happens because chemiosmosis.

Q

what is the purpose of AR or Ferm.

A

cells which cannot utilize or tolerate oxygen need a way to produce ATP to stay alive.
