How does the electron transport chain help to accomplish cellular respiration?

Answer 1

The electron transport chain or ETC is where most of the ATP from Cellular respiration is formed. 26 ADP is converted into 26 ATP by adding inorganic phosphates to the Adeninetriphosphate through an ATP synthase.

Answer 2

The electron transport chain is the final stage of cellular respiration where electrons are passed along a series of protein complexes to generate ATP. As electrons move through the chain, protons are pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane, creating a gradient. This gradient drives the synthesis of ATP through ATP synthase, producing the majority of ATP in cellular respiration.

Answer 3

by extracting energy gradually from electrons, the chain provides enough energy to change ADP into ATP.
