What else can I help you with?
Most energy that enters electron transport enters as?
Most energy that enters the electron transport chain comes from the oxidation of glucose during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. This energy is then transferred to the electron carriers NADH and FADH2, which deliver the electrons to the electron transport chain to generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
Name of high energy electron carriers in the electron transport chain?
NAD
What are the 2 energy carriers that enter the electron transport chain and their energy can be transferred to ATP?
FAD and NADHThe pick up electrons, with attendant protons, to carry into the transport chain and become,FADH and NADH2
Electrons are brought to the electron transport by what high energy electron carriers?
Electrons are brought to the electron transport chain by high-energy electron carriers such as NADH and FADH2. These carriers donate electrons to the chain, which is then used to generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
What electron move high energy between photosystems?
The electrons that move between photosystems in photosynthesis are energized by sunlight and carried by electron carrier molecules such as plastocyanin and ferredoxin. These high-energy electrons are transferred through a series of redox reactions in the electron transport chain to generate ATP and NADPH for the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
What is the purpose of electron carriers in cellular respiration?
The purpose of electron carriers such as NADH and FADH2 is to dump electrons at the electron transport chain. This creates a proton gradient and allows oxidative phosphorylation to take place.
The spent electrons from electron transport in aerobic respiration are transferred to?
The spent electrons from electron transport in aerobic respiration are transferred to oxygen molecules to form water. This final step of the electron transport chain generates energy and is essential for the production of ATP in the process of oxidative phosphorylation.
Where do electrons get there energy in photosystem 2?
Excited electrons are transferred to an electron transport chain.
What is the series of special molecules in the mitochondria that receive the high energy electrons from the carriers called?
The electron transport chain is a series of special molecules in the mitochondrion that receives the high-energy electrons from the carriers.
What role do high energy electron carriers play in cellular respiration?
High energy electron carriers, such as NADH and FADH2, play a crucial role in cellular respiration by transferring electrons to the electron transport chain. This process generates ATP, the cell's main energy source, through a series of redox reactions.
What is the purpose of electronic transport chain?
To use energy from the passing of electrons in electron carriers into a high concentration of hydrogen ions
What happen to the light energy that is trapped by the chloroplast during the first stage of photosynthesis?
Light energy is not exactly trapped. The light energy excites the electron in the reaction centres of photosystem I and photosystem II. The electron excites and transfers to the electron transport chain ( chain of electron carriers), this produces ATP. Then the electron of photosystem II is transferred by photosystem I and the electron of the photosystem I is used with H+ and NADP to form NADPH. Photosystem II gets back an electron from photolysis of water.
