What happens when you impede the binding of NAD to electrons?

When NAD is unable to bind to electrons, the electron transport chain is disrupted in cells, which affects the production of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. This can lead to a decrease in energy production and potentially impact various cellular activities.


What happens when that final electron acceptor accepts electrons from the electron transport chain?

Where does electron transport in photosynthesis take place?

Electron transport in photosynthesis takes place in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast. It involves a series of protein complexes that transfer electrons along a chain, creating a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis and ultimately produces NADPH for the Calvin cycle.


Why happens when two nitrogen atoms share electrons?

When two nitrogen atoms share electrons, a covalent bond is formed. Each nitrogen atom contributes one electron to the shared pair, creating a stable bond by completing their outer electron shells. This sharing of electrons allows both atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration.


What happens to electrons as they are transported along the the electron transport chain?

The electrons are transported through a series of carrier proteins via simultaneous oxidation-reduction reactions. The carriers harvest energy from these electrons to pump H+ ions across the inner mitochondrial membrane. When the electrons reach the very end of the chain i.e. complex 4, they are transferred to Oxygen atoms to form O2- ions. O2- ions then combine with H+ ions in the mitochondrial matrix to form H2O.

What happens to the 2 NADH produced during glycosis?

NADH can lose an electron and become NAD. The formation of NAD is also associated with oxidative stress from the formation of OH- as it leaks from the electron transport chain.


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."

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.
