∙ 15y agoDuring electron transport along the chain, electron carriers alternate between reduced and oxidized states as they accept and donate electrons. Each component of the chain become reduced when it accepts electrons and returns to its oxidized state as it passes along electrons.

What happens to covalent bonds Their electron?
In a covalent bond electrons are shared.
What happens to an electron when ionic bond forms?
Electrons are transferred from one element to another. when electrons are shared this is a covalent bond.
What happens to electrons in a redox reaction?
Electrons may be transferred from one particle to another.
What happens when you impede the binding of NAD to electrons?
what happens is when it binds to the electron.... you lose mass(Weight). Isic Newton's theory explains it all
What happens when a positively charged electron becomes neutral?
Electrons are negatively charged. They cannot be positively charged or neutral.
What happens to electrons when pigments in photosystem II absorbs light?
they move through an electron transport chain to photosystem 1
What happens to the energy level as electrons are passed along in electron transport?
They begin to electrolyze, a term used for giving off static charge.
What happens when electrons are passed the electron transport chain?
Hydrogen ions are pumped across the mitochondria's inner membrane producing a concentration gradient
What happens when electrons are transported down the electron transport chain?
Hydrogen ions are pumped across the mitochondria's inner membrane producing a concentration gradient
What Happens when electrons are passed down electron transport chain?
Hydrogen ions are pumped across the mitochondria's inner membrane producing a concentration gradient
What procces in respiration happens last?
Electronic transport chain
What happens to the energy of the electron as it falls down the electron transport chain?
pie
Where in a cell does electron transport happen in cellular respiration?
The electron transport chain happens in the cristae membrane inside the mitochondria.
What happens to electrons in the electron chain?
Oxygen (O2) is the electron acceptor in the Electron Transport Chain. "The electrons are passed to O2, the final electron acceptor of the electron transport system. This oxygen, now negatively charged because it has acquired additional electrons, combines with H+ ions, which are positively charged because they donated electrons at the beginning of the electron transport system, to form H2O."

Explain what happens in the electron transport chain?
as electrons from the Krebs cycle move down the electron transport chain energy level is reduced.
Which accumulates in the inter membrane space of the mitochondrion during electron transport?
During electron transport in the mitochondrion, protons (H+) accumulate in the intermembrane space. This happens as electrons are transferred through the electron transport chain, creating a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This gradient of protons is later utilized by ATP synthase to generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
What happens to electrons when pigments in photosystem absorb lights?
Photosystem's electron travel through the electron transport chain(etc) where ATP is produced and then back to the photosystem. In non-cyclic photophosphorylation, Photosystem II electron then is absorbed by photosystem I, photosystem I electron used to form NADPH and photosystem II gets its electron from photolysis of water. For you unfortunate children using Novanet: They move through an electron transport chain to photosystem 1.
