Where is the electron transport chain is found in eukaryotes?
Electron transport occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. Specifically, the four protein complexes of the electron transport chain (ETC) exist as transmembrane complexes in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
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.
Which term refers to the collections of electron carriers that are embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane and in the thylakoid membrane?
The electron transport chain.
What system transport?
it's a chain of electron carriers in the cristae of mitochondria and thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts.
Electrons are brought to the electron transport by what high energy electron carriers?
NADP if photosynthesis. NAD or FAD if cellular respiration.
What occurs in a series of electron carriers?
The Electron Transport Chain
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.
Name of high energy electron carriers in the electron transport chain?
NAD

What carries electrons to the electrons transport chain?
The answer is NADH and FADH2. Both of these are electron carriers.

The electron transport chain.
What system transport?
it's a chain of electron carriers in the cristae of mitochondria and thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts.
What molecules carry high-energy electrons into the electron transport chain?
The answer is NADH and FADH2. Both of these are electron carriers.
What are cytochrome carriers?
they are part of the electron transport chain and they are involved with the pumps that create the concentration gradient of H+
What form do proteins need to be in to go through the electron transport chain?
Stripped of their electrons by electron carriers. Electrons are the only thing going through the electron transport chain, where their motive force is moving protons across membranes.
What an electron transport chain?
in this step the energy carried by electrons is used to synthesize (ATP). In electron transport chain NADH and FADH2 realese electrons and hydrogen ions. These electrons are taken up by a series of electron carriers. When electrons move through the series of electron carriers they lose electrons and hydrogen ions combine with moleculaer oxygen to form water.
