a. In eukaryotes, aerobic respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen.
b. Pyruvic acid is transported into the mitochondrial matrix.
c. In the matrix, pyruvate is converted into acetyl CoA, which then enters the Krebs cycle.
d. NADH + H+ and FADH2 are generated in the Krebs’ cycle.
e. The energy in NADH + H+ and FADH2 is used to synthesize ATP via the ETS on the inner mitochondrial membrane.
f. This process is called oxidative phosphorylation.
g. In this process, CO2 is the ultimate acceptor of electrons and it gets reduced to water.
