Electron transport

  • ATP, NADH, and FADH2 yields from citric acid cycle, pyruvate oxidation, and glycolysis.
  • mitochondrial structure
  • electron transport chain
  • the chemiosmotic mechanism - H+ gradient.
  • ATP synthase
  • oxygen as final electron acceptor
  • uncoupling proteins.


Contrasting the yields of anaerobic glycolysis and aerobic cellular respiration.
