Explain what happens in the electron transport chain?

Answer 1

as electrons from the Krebs cycle move down the electron transport chain energy level is reduced.

Answer 2

In very general terms, electrons are passed down an electron transport chain which changes their energy levels and the energy "given off" by this process is used to produce ATP. There is a lot more to it than this. If you need specifics, see the link below. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

In the electron transport chain, high-energy electrons passed down a series of protein complexes in the inner mitochondrial membrane, leading to the pumping of protons across the membrane. This establishes a proton gradient, which drives ATP synthesis as the protons flow back through ATP synthase. The final electron acceptor is oxygen, forming water as the end product.

Answer 4

as electrons from the Krebs cycle move down the electron transport chain energy level is reduced.

Answer 5

Each electron carrier alternates between being reduced and being oxidized.

Answer 6

ADP is Converted to ATP.
