Why is the electron transport pathway divided into so many reactions?

It is divided into many small reactions, so energy would be released in many small steps instead of one large one.

What is the pathway that cellular respiration ends?
The electron transport chain.
What is the slowing or stopping of an early reaction in a biochemical pathway when levels of the end product become high called?
The slowing or stopping of an early reaction in biochemical pathway when levels of the end product become high is to stimulate electron transport chain. Electron transport chain is a series of linked chemical reactions.
What are the product from the electron transport chain pathway?
Electron transport chains are present in mitochondria. The products of the electron transport chains are energy in the form of thermodynamics and water which is reduced from oxygen.
What is the explanation for the pathway of electron transport chain?
It's a pathway where electrons are transported from photosystem 2 to photosystem 1.
Pathway of cellular respiration?
glycolysis, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain, oxidative phosphorylation
What sub pathway of cellular respiration produce more ATP than others combined?
electron transport
What is the pathway of energy transfer from the source in cellular respiration to its end product?
Electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation
Why does the efficiency of anaerobic pathway is so low?
In cellular respiration, going through the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain create a total of 36 ATP molecules. Without oxygen you only can get 2 ATP molecules because those reactions require oxygen.
In presence of oxygen glycolysis is followed by?
When oxygen is present, the Krebs Cycle and then the Electron transport chain follow glycolysis. When oxygen is not present, a different pathway follows glycolysis. The combination of glycolysis and the different pathway is called fermentation.
When food gets taken into a cell what does mitochondria do?
When a cell imports food, it is broken down and fed into various portions of the glycosidic pathway. Redox factors NAD and FAD mediate enzymatic reactions in the pathway and are reduced to NADH & FADH2 respectively. The short answer from here is that these molecules go through another pathway (electron transport chain) in the mitochondria where they are used to form a proton gradient. This gradient is used to drive ATP synthesis (the cells main energy source).
When an organic product such as pyruvic acid is the final electron acceptor in the metabolic pathway the pathway is termed?
fermentation
What happens in a metabolic pathway?
The product inhibits the activity of the first enzyme
