The Control of Aerobic Respiration by __________ is Referred to as Respiratory

Question

The control of aerobic respiration by __________ is referred to as respiratory control. A) HPO4^-2 B) NADH C) FADH2 D) citrate E) ADP

Accepted Answer

Respiratory control in aerobic respiration is primarily regulated by the availability of ADP. This is because the rate of oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria is adjusted based on ADP concentration; when ADP levels are high, respiration speeds up to produce more ATP, and when ADP levels are low, respiration slows down.
