Where in the mitochondria does the electron transport system occur?
Inner mitochondrial membrane.
What is the purpose of embedding the electron transport chain in the membrane of an organism?
The mitochondrial membrane is impermeable to the H+ ions.
The transfer of high-energy electrons down the electron transport chain causes what to be transported across the mitochondrial membrane?
The electron movement causes H+ ions to be transported to the cystolic side of the mitochondrial membrane from the mitochondial matrix. This creates the electrochemical gradient that is used to generate chemical energy (ATP from ADP)
What do mitochondrial and thylakoid membranes ave in common?
Mitochondrial and thylakoid membranes are sites of electron transport chains. They both use ATP synthase proteins in ATP production.
Where in the cell does the electron transport occur?
Mitochondria in animals; the chloroplasts in plants.
Where is the electron transport chain at?
Inner Mitochondrial Matrix
Where does the electron transport chain take place during cellular respiration?
In the inner mitochondrial membrane- Cristae.
Electron transport chain pumps hydrogen ions to what space?
mitochondria inner membrane
Where does the electron transport occur in eukaryotes cells?
Inner mitochondrial membrane
Where is the site of the electron transport system?
mitochondrial inner membrane (cristae)
Where in the mitochondria does the electron transport system occur?
Inner mitochondrial membrane.
Where does the electron transport chain take place in the mitochondria?
The electron transport chain takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Where do the reactants of the electron transport chain occur?
In the inner membrane of the mitochondrial organelle.
The energy released in the mitochondrial electron transport chain is used to transport protons into the?
matrix. to create a concentration gradient
Where are the proteins of electron transport chains located?
where are the proteins of the electrons transport chain located
Which term refers to the collections of electron carriers that are embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane and in the thylakoid membrane?
The electron transport chain.
Is an electron transport chain passive transport or active transport?
passive transport since the protons are moving down their concentration gradient back into the mitochondrial matrix.
