which part(s) of cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria?

the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain

what is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

oxygen accepts high-neergy electrons after they are stripped from glucose

cellular respiration accomplishes two major processes: 1) it breaks glucose down into smaller molecules, and 2) it harvests the chemical energy released and stores it in ATP molecules. By the end of ______, the breakdown of glucose is complete; most ATP m

the citric acid cycle... electron transport

NADH and FADH2 are important in cellular respiration because they deliver high-energy electrons to the electron transport system. Electron transport produces ______ ATP molecules per NADH molecules and ______ ATP molecules per FADH2 molecule

in electron transport, high-energy electrons "fall" to oxygen through a series of reactions. The energy released is used to...

transport protons into the inter membrane space of the mitochondria, where they become concentrated. They then flow back out into the inner compartment (matrix) of the mitochondria. On the way back, protons turn ATP synthase turbines and produce ATP
