FADH2 and NADH
When a molecule loses an electron the molecule has been ionized and oxidized.
When a photon of light hits the photosystem II protein, it excites an electron within the chlorophyll molecule, causing it to jump to a higher energy state and leave the chlorophyll molecule. This electron is then passed down an electron transport chain to generate ATP and NADPH for use in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
The estimated energy produced in the electron transport chain (ETC) from one glucose molecule is around 30-32 ATP molecules. This ATP production occurs through a series of redox reactions driven by electron transport and proton pumping across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
The energy molecule formed by the electron transport chain is called adenosine triphosphate, or ATP. Anywhere from 34 to 36 ATP can be produced during the electron transport chain.
No, ATP is not considered an electron carrier. ATP is the primary energy-carrying molecule in cells, storing and transferring energy for cellular processes. Electron carriers like NADH and FADH2 are involved in the transport of electrons during cellular respiration.

They are transported by electrons that pass from a carrier to a hydrogen. These are transported by active transport within a cell.

The electron transport chain is also known as the respiratory chain. NADH carries electrons in the form of hydrogen atoms to the electron transport chain.

No, fermentation does not involve an electron transport chain. Instead, it is a metabolic process that generates ATP without the use of oxygen by using an organic molecule as the final electron acceptor.
Because the electron carrier molecules, such as the cytochromes, are located in the cristae.
Approximately 28-32 ATP molecules are produced from one glucose molecule during the electron transport chain in cellular respiration. This number can vary slightly depending on specific factors such as the efficiency of the electron transport chain and the cell type.
