What two electron carrier molecules feed electrons into the electron transport chain?

NADH and FADH give high energy e- to the ETC which produces a high concentration gradient of hydrogen ions which then feed down into ATP synthase. The energy of the hydrogen ions moving down the ATP synthase generates the production of 36ATP in the mitochondria cristae.

What are the carrier proteins in the electron transport chain?
NADH
What are the two energy carrier molecules used to transfer energy from the citric acid cycle to the electron transport chain?
the kenitic energy and the potential energy
How is the energy used to make ATP via the electron transport chain generated?
It is enerated in plants during the process photophosphorylation (aka. photosynthesis) It is generated in plants through the process of photophosphorylation, in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.
What compound is NADH converted to when it transfers high energy electrons to the first electron carrier?
NADPH is used to cay hi energy electrons.
Are electron carrier and energy carrier the same thing?
No
What is passage of electrons along a series of carrier molecules from a higher to a lower energy level?
This is the electron transport chain.
What allows the passage of electrons along the series of carrier molecules from higher to a lower energy level?
The electron transport chain.
Why do high-energy electrons need carrier molecules?
The energy in light raises some of the electrons in chlorophyll to higher energy levels. These high-energy electrons are used in photosynthesis. Electron carriers are used to transport the electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules during photosynthesis.
Why is the cristae the only possible place for the electron transport molecule in the mitochodria?
Because the electron carrier molecules, such as the cytochromes, are located in the cristae.
In the electron transport chain what keeps the electrons moving along from the first to the last chemical carrier?
NITROGEN
What occurs when substances move against the concentration gradient requires and the aid of carrier proteins?
Carrier molecules are molecules that play a role in transporting electrons through the electron transport chain. Carrier molecules are usually proteins bound to a nonprotein group; they can undergo oxidation and reduction relatively easily, thus allowing electrons to flow through the system. There are four types of carrier: flavoproteins (e.g. FAD), cytochromes, iron-sulphur proteins (e.g. ferredoxin), and ubiquinone.
How is the function of NAD plus similar to that of NADP plus?
NAD is an electron/H carrier in respiration and NADP is an electron/H carrier in photosynthesis.
Is FADH2 an electron acceptor?
No, FADH2 is in the "accepted" state. FADH+ is the form of the molecule that is able to accept electrons.
Nadh delivers electrons to an electron what?
electron carrier
Photosynthesis carrier molecules?
A carrier molecule is a compound that can accept a pair of high energy electrons and transfer them to another molecule. The carrier molecule in photosynthesis is NADP or the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate.
What are a series of carrier proteins?
Active transport involves carrier proteins. Carrier proteins bind themselves to particles and transport them to highly concentrated areas within a cell.Facilitated diffusion and active transport require carrier proteins.
In an electron transport chain what is the name of the main purpose you breathe to keep electrons moving along from the first to the last chemical carrier?
Oxygen
