- Q: Explain The Small Yield Of Atp From Anaerobic Respiration
In the absence of oxygen, the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation are prevented as oxygen is not available as the final electron acceptor. Hence, only glycolysis can occur, generating 2 molecules of ATP...

A respiratory substrate is a molecule from which energy can be liberated to produce ATP in a living cell. Glucose is not the only respiratory substrate. All carbohydrates, lipids and proteins can also be used as respiratory substrates. Many cells in...

oxygen (O)
Term: oxygen (O)
Origin: Anc Greek ????/oxys(=sharp) + ?????/genos(=generation, produced by) meaning acid-former because oxygen was thought essential in the formation of acids.
Coined:
In 1778 by French chemist Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier (1743-1794). Oxygen was discovered by Scheele and Priestly independently of each other in 1772 and 1774, respectively
Definition:
A gaseous element constituting 21 percent of the atmosphere by volume that occurs as a diatomic gas. Oxygen is essential for aerobic life in the planet.
