The energy required to drive the synthesis of the majority of the ATP generated during aerobic respiration comes most directly from: the flow of protons through an ATP synthase complex.
What happens during aerobic respiration?
- It is a process of cellular respiration occurring in the presence of oxygen to generate ATP (energy) from food.
- It is the most common type of respiration in plants and animals including humans, generating water, CO2 and energy as end products.
- The 3 stages of aerobic respiration are: glycolysis, Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.
- Glycolysis is an anaerobic process.
- During oxidative phosphorylation, the hydrogen ions combine with oxygen to form water and at the same time the electrons pass along an electron transfer chain and their energy is utilized to form ATP molecules.
- In aerobic respiration, 38ATP molecules are formed by the oxidation of one molecule of glucose.
