1) Respiration requires oxygen to fully oxidize nutrients and produce more ATP. It involves glycolysis, the Krebs cycle in mitochondria, and the electron transport chain, where ATP is generated by oxidative phosphorylation.
2) During aerobic respiration, glucose breakdown yields up to 36 ATP molecules, with most ATP generated in the mitochondria. Anaerobic respiration like fermentation only yields 2 ATP per glucose without oxygen.
3) The structure of mitochondria, with its inner and outer membranes, matrix, and cristae, allows for compartmentalization of redox reactions and generation of a proton gradient across the inner membrane for ATP production via chemiosmosis.
Cellular respiration ppt, describes generalities about energy and ATP, and the three stages of cellular respiration: Gylolisis, Krebs Cylce and Electron transport chain.
Anaerobic respiration is respiration using electron acceptors other than molecular oxygen (O2). Although oxygen is not the final electron acceptor, the process still uses a respiratory electron transport chain.
his presentation is all about respiration occurring inside human bodies how they occur and is well explained via equations.hope students as well as instructors,teachers and professors would greatly benefit from this presentation.

In Odoo, the multi-company feature allows you to manage multiple companies within a single Odoo database instance. Each company can have its own configurations while still sharing common resources such as products, customers, and suppliers.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

4. ATP
ATP is the ‘universal energy currency’ – it is small
and soluble. It transfers energy but also releases
it for metabolism (e.g. Active transport,
phosphorylation, glycolysis); energy is released in
small ‘packets’ to prevent cell damage.
The phosphate can be removed by hydrolysis to
release 30kJ(molˉ1).
5. What is the importance of
coenzymes in respiration?
Coenzymes aid in the oxidation and reduction of
reactions.
NAD and FAD accept hydrogen and are
consequently reduced. The now reduced NAD
and FAD carry electrons to the electron transport
chain for oxidative phosphorylation and also carry
hydrogen ions for chemiosmosis. In addition,
coenzyme A carries acetate to the Krebs cycle.
6. Glycolysis
Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm.
An ATP molecule is hydrolysed, and the phosphorylation of glucose
takes place.
Glucose-6-phosphate is changed into fructose-6-phosphate.
Another ATP molecule is hydrolysed, and the phosphate group
attaches to C-1, forming fructose-1,6-bisphosphate.
The hexose sugar is activated by the energy released from the
hydrolysed ATP so it cannot leave the cell and is known as hexose-
1,6-bisphosphate.
It is split into two molecules of triose phosphate.
Two hydrogen atoms are removed from each triose phosphate which
involved dehydrogenase enzymes.
NAD combines with the hydrogen atoms to form reduced NAD and
two molecules of ATP are formed through substrate level
phosphorylation.

10. The Link Reaction
The link reaction takes place in the mitochondrial matrix.
Pyruvate dehydrogenase removes hydrogen atoms from
pyruvate.
Pyruvate decarboxylase removes a carboxyl group which
eventually becomes CO2.
NAD accept the hydrogen atoms to become reduced.
Coenzyme A (CoA) accepts the acetate to become Acetly CoA
which then enters the Krebs cycle.
11. The Krebs Cycle
The Krebs cycle also takes place in the mitochondrial matrix.
The acetate is offloaded from CoA and jois with oxaloacetate to form citrate.
Citrate is decarboxylated and dehydrogenated to form a 5C compound. (the
hydrogen atoms are accepted by NAD – which becomes reduced – which take
them to the electron transport chain (etc) and the carboxyl group becomes CO2)
The 5C compound is decarboxylated and dehydrogenated to form a 4C
compound.
The 4C compound is changed into another 4C compound and a molecule of ADP
is phosphorylated to form ATP (substrate level phosphorylation).
The second 4C compound is formed into another 4C compound and a pair of
hydrogen atoms are removed (dehydrogenation), reducing FAD.
The third 4C compound is further dehydrogenated (reducing NAD) to regenerate
oxaloacetate.
You can remember the Krebs Cycle as 65 44 44, so again, you just need to
remember where dehydrogenation and decarboxylation take place!

one molecule of glucose...

Reduced NAD 2 2 6
Reduced FAD 0 0 2
Carbon Dioxide 0 2 4
ATP 2 0 2
13. Oxidative Phosphorylation
The final stage of respiration involves electron
carriers which are embedded in the mitochondrial
membrane.
Oxidative Phosphorylation is the formation of ATP
by the addition of an inorganic phosphate to ADP
in the presence of oxygen. This occurs after
protons flow through ATP synthase and drive the
rotation part of the enzyme.
The electrons are passed from the final electron
carrier to molecular oxygen, which is the final
electron acceptor.
Hydrogen ions also join, so oxygen is reduced to
water.
14. Chemiosmosis
Chemiosmosis is the diffusion of ions through a partially
permeable membrane.
Reduced NAD and FAD donate hydrogens, which are split into
protons and electrons, to the electron carriers.
The protons are pumped across the inner mitochondrial
membrane using energy released from the passing of electrons
down the electron transport chain.
This builds up a proton gradient (pH gradient and
electrochemical gradient). So, potential energy builds up.
The hydrogen ions cannot diffuse through the lipid part of the
inner membrane, but can diffuse through ATP synthase – an ion
channel in the membrane. This flow of hydrogen ions is
chemiosmosis.
15. Evaluate the evidence for
Chemiosmosis...
Researchers isolated mitochondria and treated them by placing them in a
solution with a very low water potential. This meant the outer membrane
ruptured, releasing the contents of the intermembrane space (IMS). If they
further treated these mitoblasts with a strong detergent, they could release
the contents of the matrix. This allowed them to identify the enzymes in the
mitochondria, and work out that the link reaction and Krebs cycle took
place in the matrix. Also, that the enzymes for the electron transport chain
were embedded in the mitochondrial membrane.
Electron transfer in mitoblasts didn’t produce ATP, so they could conclude
that the IMS was involved. ATP wasn’t made if the mushroom-shaped
parts of the stalked particles were removed from the inner membrane and
it wasn’t made in the presence of oligomycin, an antibiotic which is now
known to block the flow of protons through the ion channel part of ATP
synthase.
In the mitochondria:
- The potential difference across the membrane was -200mV; more negative
on the matrix side than the IMS side.
16. Why is the theoretical maximum yield of ATP per
molecule of glucose rarely achieved in aerobic
respiration?
Some hydrogens leak across the mitochondrial
membrane, so there are less protons to generate
the proton motive force.
Some ATP is used to actively transport pyruvate
into the mitochondria.
Some ATP is used to bring hydrogen from
reduced NAD made during glycolysis, into the
mitochondria.
17. Why does anaerobic respiration produce a
lower yield of ATP than aerobic?
Because only glycolysis occurs.
The electron transport chain cannot occur, as
there is no oxygen to act as the final electron
acceptor. As a result, the Krebs cycle stops
because all the NAD have been reduced. This
prevents the link reaction from occuring.
On the other hand, anaerobic respiration takes
the pyruvate, and by reducing it, frees up the
NAD so glycolysis can continue, producing 2
molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose.
