They do slide along the electron transport chain, but not onto molecules of ATP. The motive power of these electrons are used to pump protons into the outer lumen of the mitochondria. There the protons build up until there is a powerful enough gradient so that they come down that gradient and through the ATP synthase, a rotary enzyme that uses the flow of protons to attach a phosphate group onto ADP and thus ATP is synthesized.
The electrons emerge from the last electron transport complex and there oxygen takes them up with the spent protons and water results.
What else can I help you with?
The membrane-bound protein molecules that pass electrons along the Electron Transport System chain are called?
One major class are known as the Cytochromes.
What helps electron-carrying molecules move along the membranes of mitochondria and chloroplasts?
In mitochondria, electron-carrying molecules are moved along the membranes by protein complexes that pump protons across the inner membrane, creating an electrochemical gradient. In chloroplasts, electron-carrying molecules are helped along by the thylakoid membrane's structure, which provides a platform for electron transport proteins to interact and facilitate the movement of electrons during photosynthesis.
Electrons from what replace the electrons form photosystem 2 during non cyclic electron flow?
During non-cyclic electron flow, electrons come from water molecules that are split by photosystem II. These electrons replace the ones lost by photosystem II as they are passed along the electron transport chain.
How is electron transport similar to electricity?
Electron transport is electricity. Electricity is the flowing of electrons along a substrate such as copper. Electrons will move from one source to another source. In household electricity the electrons travel along the path and back to the original source.
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.
The energy of the electrons passing along the electron transport chain is used to make what?
ATP molecules
The membrane-bound protein molecules that pass electrons along the Electron Transport System chain are called?
One major class are known as the Cytochromes.
What allows the passage of electrons along the series of carrier molecules from higher to a lower energy level?
The electron transport chain.
What happened as electrons move along the chain of molecules known as the electron transport chain?
They lose energy,which is then used by the cell to make ATP
What helps electron-carrying molecules move along the membranes of mitochondria and chloroplasts?
In mitochondria, electron-carrying molecules are moved along the membranes by protein complexes that pump protons across the inner membrane, creating an electrochemical gradient. In chloroplasts, electron-carrying molecules are helped along by the thylakoid membrane's structure, which provides a platform for electron transport proteins to interact and facilitate the movement of electrons during photosynthesis.
Does Electron Transport supply or store energy?
The purpose of the Krebs cycle is to produce ATP or create molecules that will create ATP in the electron transport chain (NADH and FADH2)
Where does the electron transport chain get high energy electrons that are passed down the chains?
High-energy electrons from NADH and FADH2 are passed along the electron transport chain
Which molecule enter electron transport?
In the electron transport chain, the molecules that enter are NADH and FADH2. These molecules donate their electrons to the chain, which then pass along a series of protein complexes in the inner mitochondrial membrane to generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
Where does the electron transport chain get the high-energy electrons that are passed down the chain?
The high-energy electrons in the electron transport chain are derived from molecules like NADH and FADH2, which are generated during cellular respiration in processes like glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. These molecules donate their electrons to the chain, where they are passed down through a series of protein complexes to generate ATP.
What is the passing of electrons along a series of molecules releasing energy as the go is known as a?
This process is known as electron transport chain. It is a series of protein complexes and molecules within the inner membrane of the mitochondria that transfer electrons and generate a proton gradient, ultimately producing ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
