Understand aerobic respiration - AP Biology

Aerobic cellular respiration is the process of breaking down glucose to form intermittent electron electron carriers, which eventually donate their electrons to the final electron acceptor, oxygen, at the end of the electron transport chain. This process produces usable energy in the form of ATP, as well as waste produced of carbon dioxide and water.

One way to divide prokaryotes is into aerobes and anaerobes. Aerobes are organisms that can survive and grow in the presence of oxygen while anaerobes did not require oxygen for survival and growth. All aerobes can produce ATP with or without oxygen (though they may need oxygen for survival. However some anaerobes are harmed by the presence of oxygen (obligate anaerobes). These anaerobes can produce ATP through glycolysis or anaerobic respiration, where another molecule besides oxygen is used as the final electron acceptor for the electron transport chain.

If no oxygen is available, anaerobic respiration will occur. This can either be lactic acid fermentation, or alcoholic fermentation. In alcoholic or lactic acid fermentation, the pyruvate are decarboxylated and ultimately used to produce either ethanol or lactic acid, and regenerate NAD+ which will be reused for another cycle of glycolysis (2 ATP are produced for each round of glycolysis).

In the absence of oxygen, pyruvate produced during glycolysis will be used for either lactic acid or alcoholic fermentation, producing lactic acid or ethanol (as waste products) and regenerating NAD+ to be used for another cycle of glycolysis. This fermentation occurs in the cytosol of the cell.

Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration. It becomes water upon being reduced by the accepted electrons, which explains why water is one of the products of respiration. Without the presence of oxygen, electrons would remain trapped and bound in the final step of the electron transport chain, preventing further reaction.

NADH and FADH2 are necessary to donate electrons to the electron transport chain.
