What are two high energy electron carriers used in cellular respiration that are not used in photosynthesis?
What are the two new high energy electron carriers used during cellular respiration that are different than the one used for photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis carrier molecules?
A carrier molecule is a compound that can accept a pair of high energy electrons and transfer them to another molecule. The carrier molecule in photosynthesis is NADP or the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate.
Electrons are brought to the electron transport by what high energy electron carriers?
NADP if photosynthesis. NAD or FAD if cellular respiration.
How is the function of NAD plus similar to that of NADP plus?
NAD is an electron/H carrier in respiration and NADP is an electron/H carrier in photosynthesis.
What is the purpose of electron carriers in cellular respiration?
The purpose of electron carriers such as NADH and FADH2 is to dump electrons at the electron transport chain. This creates a proton gradient and allows oxidative phosphorylation to take place.
What is the function of the thylakoids in a chloroplast?
Thylakoids are the site of light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. They're electron carriers.
What are two high energy electron carriers used in cellular respiration that are not used in photosynthesis?
What are the two new high energy electron carriers used during cellular respiration that are different than the one used for photosynthesis.
What are electron carriers used in photosynthesis?
Pigment I & II systems of cyclic and non-cyclic phosphorylation.
Photosynthesis carrier molecules?
A carrier molecule is a compound that can accept a pair of high energy electrons and transfer them to another molecule. The carrier molecule in photosynthesis is NADP or the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate.
Electrons are brought to the electron transport by what high energy electron carriers?
NADP if photosynthesis. NAD or FAD if cellular respiration.
How is the function of NAD plus similar to that of NADP plus?
NAD is an electron/H carrier in respiration and NADP is an electron/H carrier in photosynthesis.
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 occurs in a series of electron carriers?
The Electron Transport Chain
What is the role of molecules such as nadh nadh and fadh in metabolic?
NADH and FADH are Coenzymes which act as carriers of electrons, protons, and energy in metabolism.
What organelle in the cell carriers out photosynthesis?
chloroplast
What electron move high energy between photosystems?
Electron Carriers.
In eukaryotes the electron transport chain is composed of a series of electron carriers located in the what of the mitochondrion?
The electron carriers are located in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. In the prokaryotes, the electron transport chain is located in the cell membrane.
