i. Avalanche breakdown: In high reverse bias, minority carriers acquire sufficient kinetic energy and collide with a valence electron. Due to collisions the covalent bond breaks. The valence electron enters...
1. During ETS, NADH2 and FADH2 undergoes oxidation where they are converted to NAD+ and FAD+ respectively.
2. During this conversion, hydrogen is removed, which latter forms proton and electron. This...
Anaerobic respiration produces less energy because:
1. Incomplete breakdown of respiratory substrate takes place.
2. Some of the products of anaerobic respiration can be oxidised further to release energy which shows that...
It is possible to make calculations of the net gain of ATP for every glucose molecule oxidised, but in reality this can remain only a theoretical exercise.
These calculations can be...
