What is the ultimate destination of electrons stripped from glucose?

The ultimate destination of electrons stripped from glucose is the electron transport chain in the mitochondria. Here, the electrons are used to generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation, the final step in cellular respiration.


How is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration similar to the role of NAD plus in fermentation?

As they both accept electrons and are reduced, but NAD carries stripped electrons from glucose ( becoming NADH ) to the electron transfer chain while oxygen is the final electron acceptor.


What is the state of matter electrons are electrons are stripped away from the nuclei?

Plasma


What are cores?

An atom stripped of its valence electrons, so that its remaining electrons are all in closed shells.


Role of hydrogen atoms in aerobic cellular respiration?

In aerobic cellular respiration, hydrogen atoms are pumped into the intermembrane space of the mitochondria via a proton pump to create a concentration gradient. The flow of protons back into the matrix (call chemiosmosis) yields 32-34 molecules of ATP, which is where the bulk of the energy comes from in cellular respiration.


Why is respiration needed?

respiration: the metabolic processes whereby certain organisms obtain energy from organic molecules; processes that take place in the cells and tissues during which energy is released and carbon dioxide is produced and absorbed by the blood to be transported to the lungs.


Is it possible to stop the electrons revolving around the nucleus?

No, it is not possible to stop the electrons from revolving around the nucleus unless they are stripped off from the nucleus.


What does pb plus 2 mean in chemistry?

An atom of lead that has bee stripped of two of its electrons.


What is the state of matter when electrons are stripped away from the nuclei?

When electrons are stripped away from the nuclei, the state of matter is in the form of a plasma. Plasmas are ionized gases consisting of positive ions and free electrons. They are commonly found in stars, lightning, and some man-made devices like plasma TVs.


What does mitochondrion do in the animal cell?

Mitochondria are rod-shaped organelles that can be considered the power generators of the cell, converting oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the chemical energy "currency" of the cell that powers the cell's metabolic activities. This process is called aerobic respiration and is the reason animals breathe oxygen. Without mitochondria (singular, mitochondrion), higher animals would likely not exist because their cells would only be able to obtain energy from anaerobic respiration (in the absence of oxygen), a process much less efficient than aerobic respiration. In fact, mitochondria enable cells to produce 15 times more ATP than they could otherwise, and complex animals, like humans, need large amounts of energy in order to survive.


What kind of charge does an object acquire when electrons stripped from it?

A positive charge


Why is the final process of aerobic respiration called the electron transport chain?

Oxidation in chemistry is when an electron is stripped from an atom or molecule. In this case, an electron is stripped from the phosphate group in ATP so it can be used for energy, hence oxidative phosphorylation. The electron then moves through several processes that generate energy the cell can use. That's why it is most commonly referred to as the electron transport chain.
