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.
NADH carries an electron for the ETC
hydrogen electrons
electrons.
2 Electrons
A molecule of of H2O has 10 electrons: two from the hydrogen and 8 from the oxygen.
30 electrons per molecule.
there are 5 bonding electrons. It depends on the number of valence electrons.
1
hydorgen: 1 electron Oxygen: 8 electrons Therefore 10 electrons
2
6
In glycolysis of cellular respiration, NADH produces 2ATP because one ATP is used to transport a molecule of NADH into the mitochondria and continue with aerobic respiration. However, in pyruvate decarboxylation and the Krebs cycle, each NADH yields 3ATPs. FADH2 yields 2 ATPs.
There are 16 electrons in an oxygen molecule as each oxygen atom has 8 electrons.
30 from one glucose molecule breakdown
3 ATP per NADH and 2 ATP per FADH2 through oxidative phosphyrolation in mitochondria
A molecule of of H2O has 10 electrons: two from the hydrogen and 8 from the oxygen.
A molecule shouldn't have valence electrons left.
In my textbook it says that 1 molecule of ATP and 3 molecules of NADH are made from 1 molecule of pyruvate, via the citric acid cycle. However, since the question is asking for 1 molecule of GLUCOSE, the answer would be 2 ATP and 6 NADH since the oxidation of glucose produces TWO molecules of pyruvate, the amount of ATP and NADH would have to be doubled. I actually have this EXACT question on my exam... hmmm... do I know you by chance? o__O
They are used in the production of ATP, the 'energy currency' of the cell. FADH2 and NADH have the very important role of being electron carriers for the electron transport chain. Both are used at key points in glycolysis and/or the Kreb's cycle. FADH2 : Carries electrons in the form of hydrogen atoms (1 proton and 1 electron) with 0 net charge. With 2 hydrogens FAD may use these electrons one at a time or 2 at a time, depending on which ever process it is in. NADH : Carries it's electrons in the form of hydrides (1 proton and 2 electrons) with -1 net charge. Since these electrons are in the hydride form they both must be used at the same time, there isn't an option to use 1 OR 2 only 2 electrons.
There would be 13 electrons.
30 electrons per molecule.
