Where does the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain occur within the cell?

The kerbs cycle and the electron transport chain takes place within the mitochondria in the cell. It uses the double membrane within the mitochondria itself to send electrons down the membrane to produce ATP.


Where is the electron transport systems used to make ATP located?

The electron transport system used for ATP synthesis happens in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion and the proteins embedded within that membrane.


Structure of a mitochondria?

A mitochondrion is a double-membraned organelle with an outer membrane and inner membrane. The inner membrane contains folds called cristae that increase its surface area for energy production. Inside the mitochondrion is a fluid-filled space called the matrix where the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation occur.


Oxidative phosphorylation describes how the electron-transport system produces ATP using active proton pumps located within the?

mitochondrial inner membrane. Here, electrons from NADH and FADH2 are passed along the electron-transport chain, leading to the pumping of protons across the membrane. The resulting proton gradient drives ATP synthesis via ATP synthase, a process known as chemiosmosis.


How is the inner membrane of the mitochondria adapted to its function?

The mitochondrial inner membrane forms internal compartments - within the organelle - known as cristae, which allow greater space for the proteins such as cytochromes to function correctly. Also, the electron transport chain is located on the inner membrane of the mitochondria and within the mitochondrions inner membrane are also transport proteins that transport in a highly controlled manner metabolites across this membrane.


Where does oxidative respiration occur?

Oxidative Phosphorilation occurs in the Matrix of the Mitochondria (the innermost compartment) of Eukaryotes (organisms with a membrane bound nucleus). However, in bacteria it occurs in the plasma membrane.
