Where is the electron transport chain at?
Inner Mitochondrial Matrix
Where does the electron transport chain take place during cellular respiration?
In the inner mitochondrial membrane- Cristae.
The electron transport chains of cellular respiration are located?
This depends on whether you are a eukaryote, bacteria or archaea. In eukaryotes, the electron transport chain components are on the mitochondrial membrane.In bacteria and archaea, since there are no membrane-enclosed compartments, they are on the cellular membrane.
Electron transport chain pumps hydrogen ions to what space?
mitochondria inner membrane
Where does the electron transport occur in eukaryotes cells?
Inner mitochondrial membrane
Where is the site of the electron transport system?
mitochondrial inner membrane (cristae)
Where in the mitochondria does the electron transport system occur?
Inner mitochondrial membrane.
Where does the electron transport chain take place in the mitochondria?
The electron transport chain takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
