When does oxygen become involved in the process of aerobic respiration?

Respiration that does NOT require oxygen is called _____

Compare the ATP production between the two types of respiration:

a.___________________ yields a net gain of ________ ATP molecules

___________________ yields a net gain of _______ ATP molecules

Solutions

Expert Solution

Respiration that does NOT require oxygen is called Anerobic respiration.
Aerobic respiration yields a net gain of 38 ATP.
Anaerobic respiration yields a net gain of 2 ATP.

When does oxygen become involved in the process of aerobic respiration ?

From the figure we can understand that oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor.Oxygen is needed in the last step of cellular aerobic respiration.The hydrogen atoms produced in glycolysis and Krebs cycle with the help of oxygen is converted into water and drive the production of ATP.If oxygen does not pick up the last electron,it will be accumulated without getting passed and the energy production halts.

1. Aerobic respiration generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can damage guanine bases, resulting in 8-oxoguanine (8-oxo-dG) lesions, which are the major mutagenic oxidative lesions in the human genome. When DNA polymerases encounter 8-oxo-dG as a template residue, they often catalyze misincorporation of adenine instead of the “correct” cytosine pair. This results in the propagation of G to T transversions, which are common somatic mutations associated with cancer. Crystal structures of a high-fidelity DNA polymerase in the process of both...
