generate ATP in the ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN

-Respiration & Fermentation-

Respiration- the final electron acceptor is

Oxygen

Fermentation doesn't need _______

Oxygen

* but it could occur

-The Electron Transport Chain-

A series of carrier molecules that are, in turn, oxidized & reduced as....

electrons are passed down the chain

-A Summary of Respiration-

Aerobic respiration:

the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain is molecular oxygen

-A Summary of Respiration-

Anaerobic respiration:

the final electron acceptor in the elecron transpor chain is NOT oxygen
