Intermembrane space adenosine diphosphate photosynthesis anaerobic adenosine tri

Question

Intermembrane space adenosine diphosphate photosynthesis anaerobic adenosine triphosphate glycolysis organelles ATP synthase In eukaryotes, many stages of cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria, also called the "powerhouse of the cell." Because prokaryotes lack these cell ________, the process take place in the cytoplasm. The first stage of cellular respiration is called ________: during this stage, glucose is split into two molecules of pyruvate (pyruvic acid). The _________, sometimes known as the outer compartment, is the region between the outer and inner membranes of a mitochondrion. The flow of hydrogen ions back across the inner mitochondrial membrane drives the synthesis of ATP molecules by the enzyme _________. Glycolysis can still proceed under _________ conditions -- when oxygen is absent. The source of all the energy available for cellular respiration comes from sunlight, which is harnessed by plants in a process known as ________. The molecule _________ powers chemical reactions by donating one of its three phosphate groups to a reaction, becoming ________ in the process.

Explanation / Answer

1) Organelles

Prokaryotic cells lack any membrane bound cell organelle.

2) Glycolysis

Cellular respiration involves four different stages - glycolysis, pyruvate oxiddation, citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation,

3) Intermembrane space

This is the place where oxidative phosphorylation occurs,

4) ATP synthase

This enzyme structurally consists of two subunits - Fo and F1 subunit. The enzyme is located in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.

5) Anaerobic

This process results in the production of lactate. This process mainly occurs during short and intense exercises.

6) Photosynthesis

In this process, light energy from sun is converted into chemical energy from carbon dioxide and water. This involves the green pigment chlorophyll.

7) Adenosine triphosphate , Adenosine diphosphate

This is the important step which generates energy that is required for different life activities. This occurs in the mitochondria of animals and in chloroplasts of plants as well.
