How does the electron transport chain use the high-energy electrons from glycolysis and the Krebs cycle?

As the force need to pump hydrogen ions by active transport through the electron transport systems into the intermembrane space of the mitochondria where they, the H +, can fall back down their concentration gradient through the ATP synthase and synthesize ATP from ADP.

Im pretty such off the top of my head that this concentration is of H+ atoms inside the inner membrane of the mitochondria, but im not positive. Anyways, once this concentration is great enough, the particles go through what is known as chemiosmosis, in which they go through a protein in the membrane called ATP synthase, which acts a kind of pump. this pump is powered by this concentration gradient, and as H+ ions go out of the membrane through this pump, they give the energy needed to phosphorylate ADP into ATP, making energy.

How many electrons can a NADH molecule carry?
The electron transport chain is also known as the respiratory chain. NADH carries electrons in the form of hydrogen atoms to the electron transport chain.
Do the energized electrons at the primary electron acceptor flow to the reaction center?
No, the electrons flow from the reaction center to the primary electron center. Just the opposite of what you said.
Where does the electron transport chain get high energy electrons that are passed down the chains?
High-energy electrons from NADH and FADH2 are passed along the electron transport chain
What does the electron transport train produce?
The electron transport chain is used to make ATP.
Where does the electron transport chain get the high-energy electrons that are passed down the chain?
The high-energy electrons that are passed to the electron transport chain combine with O2 and H+ ions. This results to the formation of water molecules.
What procces in respiration happens last?
Electronic transport chain
What is the function of Glycosis?
the main purpose of glycolysis is to produce high-energy electrons for use in the electron transport chain.
What do glycolysis and the electron transport chain have in common?
The reduced form of the energy carrying molecules like NADH,FADH2 released from glycolysis send to electron transport system where these energy molecules are further acted by dehydrogenase to remove electrons and ATP is generated.
What is the correct order for respiration's?
apex: Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain
Electron carriers bring electrons from glycolysis and the Krebs cycle to the electron transport chain?
They are donated to the electron transport system
Where do the 36 ATP molecules go to in the electron transport chain?
From Glycolysis and Electron Transport Chain
What are the three stages of cellular respiration in order?
Glycolysis, the Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle), and the Electron Transport Chain.
What stage of cellular respiration yield the most ATP?
Electron transport chain. During electron transport chain 34 ATP molecules are produced whereas glycolysis and citric acid cycle yield 4 ATPs (2 during glycolysis and 2 during citric acid cycle).
What are 3 major steps in cellular respiration?
Actually there are 4 steps of aerobic cellular respiration Glycolysis, Oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate, kreb's cycle, electrton transport chain
What are the three processes of aerobic respiration?
Glycolysis, the Krebs Cylce (aka citric acid cycle), electron transport chain
What are the Stages of cell respiration?
Glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and electron transport.
What is the correct for respiration?
apex: Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain
