It is enerated in plants during the process photophosphorylation (aka. photosynthesis)

∙ 14y agoThe hydrogen atoms produced during the Krebs cycle combine with coenzymes NAD and FAD that are attached to the cristae of the mitochondria. The reduced NAD and FAD donate the electrons of the hydrogen atoms they are carrying to the first molecule in the electron transport chain. This releases the protons from the hydrogen atoms and these protons are actively transported across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The electrons meanwhile, pass along a chain of electron transport carrier molecules in a series of oxidation-reduction reactions. The electrons lose energy as they pass down the chain and some of this is used to combine ADP and inorganic phosphate to make ATP.

Where does the electron transport chain get high energy electrons that are passed down the chains?
High-energy electrons from NADH and FADH2 are passed along the electron transport chain
Where does the electron transport chain get the high-energy electrons that are passed down the chain?
The high-energy electrons that are passed to the electron transport chain combine with O2 and H+ ions. This results to the formation of water molecules.
Is heat energy required to establish the electron transport chain?
Yes
What role do high-energy electrons play in the electron transport chain?
The electron transport chain uses the high-energy electrons from the Krebs cycle to convert ADP into ATP
During aerobic respiration electrons are passed down the electron transport chain and what is formed?
Aerobic respiration is a cellular level process in which nutrients are changed into energy. The electrons that pass down the electron transport chain react with oxygen (thus, aerobic) and protons to form water.
What gets generated through the electron transport chain?
The products of the electron transport chain are water and adenosine triphosphate. ATP.
What step of respiration produces the most energy for the organism?
electron transport chain?
Series of electron acceptors in the thylakoid membrane that removes energy from excited electrons to produce ATP?
Electron transport chain.
What uses energy from the high-energy electrons to transport hydrogen across the thylakoid membrane?
Electron transport chain
What is mass produced in the electron transport chain?
In the electron transport chain, the main product that is mass produced is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is a high-energy molecule that serves as the primary source of cellular energy. It is generated by the electron transport chain through a series of redox reactions involving the transfer of electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors, ultimately resulting in the production of ATP.
High-energy electrons from NADH and FADH2 are passed into and along the?
Electron Transport Chain
Why do organisms need a final electron acceptor?
A final electron acceptor that is a stronger oxidizing agent than the last oxidizing agent in the electron transport chain is needed to remove low-energy electrons from the chain so that new high energy electrons can enter the chain to generate more ATPs. Without a final electron acceptor the electron transport chain will be backed up with low energy electrons and eventually no ATP can be generated since no new electron can enter the chain.
What is the incoming energy source for electron transport chain?
The electron transport chain is the driving energy behind ATP synthesis. The energy itself comes from electron donors. In chloroplast, this donor's glucose.
Which part of cellular respiration will provide the squirrel with most of the energy it needs to escape?
the electron transport chain
A dog chasing a rabbit needs energy from the food it has eaten which process makes the usable energy for the dog?
the electron transport chain
How does electron transport chain use the high energy electron from the Krebs cycle?
The electron transport chain uses the high-energy electrons from the Krebs cycle to convert ADP into ATP.
What do glycolysis and the electron transport chain have in common?
The reduced form of the energy carrying molecules like NADH,FADH2 released from glycolysis send to electron transport system where these energy molecules are further acted by dehydrogenase to remove electrons and ATP is generated.
