Where is the electron transport system found on the bacteria?

Since prokaryotic cells do not have complex organelles such as a nucleus or mitochondria as do their counterparts, the eukaryotic cells. The electron transport system (ETS) for bacteria is found on the inner membrane.


Where is a vesicle found?

Vesicles are located in neurons at presynaptic terminals. The small cell organelles are found in both plant cells and animal cells.


What part of all cells makes energy?

Are we talking about eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells? In prokaryotic cells (bacteria) the cell membrane is the site of the electron transport chain which makes the cells energy currency known as ATP (adenosine-triphosphate) In eukaryotic (plants, animal) cells the major source of energy (ATP) is produced by the mitochondria.


How does cellular respiration in eukaryotic cells differ from cellular respiration in prokayotic cells?

The electron transport chain (ETC) is on/in the innermost membrane of the mitochondrion and/or chloroplast (i.e. plants and photosynthesizing protists like algae), which are organelles of a eukaryotic cell. It's actually embedded into the inner membrane of a mitochondria or the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast which plays a part in keeping the gradient that the ETC produces (remember, it's purpose is the push H+ against its gradient using electron energy).


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.

When and where does the electron transport take place?

The location of the electron transport system depends on the cell type.~The electron transport system is embedded in the inner membrane of the mitochondria for animal, plant and fungus cells.~The electron transport system is also in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts in plant cells.


Where does a Electron Transport Chain happen?

In aerobic respiration, electron transport occurs inside the mitochondria. In photosynthesis, electron transport occurs inside the chloroplasts.


Where does the electron transport occur in eukaryotes cells?

Inner mitochondrial membrane


Where are molecules of electron transport chain found in plant cells?

thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts


Where is the electron transport system found on the bacteria?

Since prokaryotic cells do not have complex organelles such as a nucleus or mitochondria as do their counterparts, the eukaryotic cells. The electron transport system (ETS) for bacteria is found on the inner membrane.


Where in the cell does the electron transport occur?

Mitochondria in animals; the chloroplasts in plants.


Where in the cell do electron transport chain occur?

In the mitochondria. The complexes need for the electron transport chain are attached on the inner side of the inner mitochondrial membrane, which channels opening into the intermembrane space for pumping out protons.


Is cytoplasm located in only animal cells?

No, animal cells and plant cells.


Can the electron transport chain be found in animals or plants?

In the process of making ATP, all air-breathing animals have cells that go through the process of the Electron Transport Chain.


What is the organelle responsible for cellualr respiration in animal cells?

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, but the Kreb's cycle happens in the matrix (inside) of the mitochondria and electron transport chain occurs on the innermembrane of the mitochondria.


What cells are centrioles located in?

animal cells


Where is the electron transport chain in prokaryote?

Electron transport chains are located there are many different electron donors and electron acceptors. Reverse electron transport is the most important in prokaryotic electron transport chains.
