When is the electron transport chain carried out?
Plants, fungi, and animals are all eukaryotes and possess mitochondria, which is the site of the electron transport chain. Prokaryotes have no mitochondria and perform the electron transport chain across their cell membranes. Electron transport chain also occurs in thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts.
Electrical connection that allows electrons to be carried away in the event of a problem?
resist
How is the number of valence electrons of a nonmetal related to the charge on the ion the nonmetal?
Nonmetals will undergo chemical reactions that result in a stable electron configuration of 8 electrons in the outer shell. The number of valence electrons tells you have many they have in their outer shell prior to any chemical reaction, and therefore, how many more electrons they need to get a complete set of 8. So for example, oxygen has 6 valence electrons and therefore needs 2 more to have 8, so it will form an ion with a charge of minus two, which is the charge that is carried by the additional two electrons that oxygen will acquire. Chlorine has 7 valence electrons, therefore it needs just one more electron to complete its outer shell, and as an ion will have a charge of minus one. Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons, so it needs 3 more, and will form an ion with a charge of minus three.
What is definition of transport number in electrochemistry?
The fraction of the total current carried by a given ion in an electrolyte.
An electrical connection that allows electrons to be carried away in the event of the problem?
resist
The electrons from glucose are carried to the electron transport system by which of the following?
NAD+
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.
What is the function of oxygen in aerobic repsiration?
Oxygen serves as an electron acceptor. When food is completely metabolised in the organism, it is decomposed to electrons, protons and CO2. The electrons are carried by NADH to mitochondria, to electron-transport chain. At the end of the electron transport chain, oxygen receives electrons, thus providing for maximal yield of energy carried by those electrons (in the electron-transport chain, they are used for pumping protons across the mitochondrial membrane, thus proton gradient which empowers ATPase, is maintained). At last, the ATPase enzyme produces ATP, the usable form of energy.
What electron carried the current in a metal conductor?
The valance electrons.
Where do electrons from the Krebs cycle go next?
Electron Transport The point of the kreb's cycle is to create energy. The energy made is in the form of ATP (Adenosinetriphosphate) which the body uses immediatley or is in the form of electrons carried by NADH or FADH2. These then go on to the electron transport chain where more molecules of ATP are created.
Which reaction of the Krebs cycle is carried out at the electron transport chain?
Succinate to fumarate

What roles do electrons and hydrogen ions play in light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?
Electrons excited out of the reaction centre in the photosystems are carried along a chain. The electron transport chain pumps protons, just like the respiratory complexes, and the electrons are eventually dumped onto NADP to form NADPH. Protons flow back through ATP synthase, generating ATP.
What are the two types of current flow in a semiconductor?
Currents in a semiconductor are carried by the motion of electrons or of "holes", which are areas of localized electron deficiency.
What happens to the electrons carried by N.A.D.H. andF.A.D.H molecules produced during the citric acid cycle?
It is used to transport hydrogen to the electron transport chain.
What did the Alexander on the first fleet carry?
The Alexander was one of the transport ships, meaning it carried convicts.
What is transport number?
Transport number is the fraction of the total current carried by a given ion in an electrolyte
