Why is the final process of aerobic respiration called the electron transport chain?
Oxidation in chemistry is when an electron is stripped from an atom or molecule. In this case, an electron is stripped from the phosphate group in ATP so it can be used for energy, hence oxidative phosphorylation. The electron then moves through several processes that generate energy the cell can use. That's why it is most commonly referred to as the electron transport chain.
High energy electrons that move down the electron transport chain ultimately provide the energy needed to?
of course it is break glucose into pyruvic acid.
The transfer of electrons along a series of proteins releasing energy as they pass is known as an?
Electron Transport Chain
The source of energy for the process of photosynthesis?
Electrons are used as an exchange currency during photosynthesis. The energy that provides the boost for these electrons comes from the electron transport chain.
Explain what happens in the electron transport chain?
as electrons from the Krebs cycle move down the electron transport chain energy level is reduced.
What uses energy from the high-energy electrons to transport hydrogen across the thylakoid membrane?
Electron transport chain
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
High-energy electrons from NADH and FADH2 are passed into and along the?
Electron Transport Chain
Transport chain series of proteins embedded in a membrane along which energized electrons are transported as electrons are passed from molecule energy is released?
Transport chain series of proteins embedded in a membrane along which energized electrons are transported as electrons are passed from molecule energy is released?
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.
Series of electron acceptors in the thylakoid membrane that removes energy from excited electrons to produce ATP?
Electron transport chain.
Electron moves through electron transport chain?
Electrons move through the electron transport chain via a series of redox reactions. They move from high to lower energy levels, resulting in the pumping of hydrogen ions across the membrane.
What an electron transport chain?
in this step the energy carried by electrons is used to synthesize (ATP). In electron transport chain NADH and FADH2 realese electrons and hydrogen ions. These electrons are taken up by a series of electron carriers. When electrons move through the series of electron carriers they lose electrons and hydrogen ions combine with moleculaer oxygen to form water.
What does the electron transport chain use the high energy electrons for the Krebs cycle for?
The electrons are passed down the electron transport chain for use in ATP production.
What is the energy of the high energy electrons used for every time high energy electrons move down the electron transport chain?
To transport H+ ions out of the matrix.
During what is electrons transferred and energy is released?
Electron transport chain
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
