Energy from the electrons move down the chain is used to move H plus ions across the inner membrane. H plus ions move through channels of ATP synthase in the inner membrane.

During what is electrons transferred and energy is released?
Electron transport chain
Why do high-energy electrons need carrier molecules?
The energy in light raises some of the electrons in chlorophyll to higher energy levels. These high-energy electrons are used in photosynthesis. Electron carriers are used to transport the electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules during photosynthesis.
What is the passing of electrons along a series of molecules releasing energy as the go is known as a?
an electron transport chain
What is the energy given up by electrons as they move through the electron transport chain used for?
Pumping H+ against its concentration gradient.
Most of the NADH that delivers high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain comes from?
The Citric Acid Cycle or also know as the Kreb Cycle.
What uses energy from the high-energy electrons to transport hydrogen across the thylakoid membrane?
Electron transport chain
What form do proteins need to be in to go through the electron transport chain?
Stripped of their electrons by electron carriers. Electrons are the only thing going through the electron transport chain, where their motive force is moving protons across membranes.
What is passed from protein to protein in the electron transport chain?
Energy is transferred to the chain of proteins in the electron transport. A electron transport chain is a series of compounds that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors through redox reactions.
Is it true electrons gain energy as they move down the chain?
No. Electrons gain energy as they move up the chain, i.e. in more outer shells.
What role do high-energy electrons play in the electron chain?
The electron transport chain uses the high-energy electrons from the Krebs cycle to convert ADP into 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
Why is oxygen required for the electron transport chain to function properly?
High energy electrons pass through them resulting in the pumping of hydrogens across the mitochondrial inner membrane
The energy given up by electrons as they move through the electron transport chain is used to?
A good portion of the energy from the electron movement is used to pump H+ across a gradient.
What happens as the electrons are passed along the electron carries in the electron transport chain?
Hydrogen ions are pumped across the mitochondria's inner membrane producing a concentration gradient
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.
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 what is electrons transferred and energy is released?
