The electrons are passed down the electron transport chain for use in ATP production.
The electron transport chain uses the high-energy electrons from the Krebs cycle to convert ADP into ATP.
The electron transport chain uses the high-energy electrons from the Krebs cycle to convert ADP into ATP.
The purpose of the Krebs cycle is to produce ATP or create molecules that will create ATP in the electron transport chain (NADH and FADH2)
High-energy electrons play a crucial role in the electron transport chain by transferring their energy to pump protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane, which generates a proton gradient. This gradient is used to drive ATP synthesis during oxidative phosphorylation, providing cells with the energy needed for various processes.
The Krebs cycle does not directly pass electrons at a time. It generates electron carriers in the form of NADH and FADH2 by oxidizing acetyl-CoA to produce ATP and transfer electrons to the electron transport chain for further energy production.
Yes, the electron transport chain can occur without the Krebs cycle. The electron transport chain generates ATP by transferring electrons through a series of protein complexes in the inner mitochondrial membrane, regardless of whether the electrons come from the Krebs cycle or other sources.
High-energy electrons from glycolysis and the Krebs cycle are ultimately transferred to oxygen molecules during oxidative phosphorylation in the electron transport chain to produce ATP.
The step of cellular respiration that uses high energy electrons to covert ADP to ATP is in the Krebs Cycle. The Krebs Cycle takes place in the mitochondria.
The high E electrons that enter Krebs are used to reduce carbon dioxide to carbohydrate. Not all high E electrons that leave the light-dependent reactions go to the Krebs cycle. Some are used to produce the ATP that drives the endergonic Krebs cycle.
NAD+ and FAD are electron carriers that function in the Krebs cycle to accept and transport electrons from various reactions within the cycle. They play a crucial role in transferring these electrons to the electron transport chain for ATP production.
Most of the NADH that delivers high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain comes from the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) during cellular respiration. This cycle generates NADH as a byproduct when converting acetyl-CoA to CO2, which is then used to produce ATP in the electron transport chain.
Most of the energy comes from the electron transport chain by oxidative phosphorylation. However there is energy produced in the Krebs cycle and Glycolysis this is called substrate level phosphorylation.
