The electron transport system (ETS) is a series of protein complexes and electron carriers located in the inner mitochondrial membrane in eukaryotes (or the plasma membrane in prokaryotes). It includes four main protein complexes (Complex I, II, III, and IV) and two mobile electron carriers, ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q) and cytochrome c. The ETS facilitates the transfer of electrons from NADH and FADH2 to oxygen, ultimately generating ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. This process also creates a proton gradient across the membrane, which is essential for ATP synthesis.
What else can I help you with?
What stage of cell respiration uses oxygen?
The oxygen molecules that you breathe are actually used in the last part of aerobic respiration. They are the final electron acceptors in electron transport chain.
What part of respiration produce the most ATP?
the electron transport chain
How can you justify the disappearance of oxygen as a measure of electron transport?
In the electron transport chain Oxygen is the final electron acceptor. Also the Oxygen accepts 2 Hydrogen ions, making water in the process. The dissapearance of Oxygen shows that the electron transport chain is working and that Oxygen is doing its job.
What photosystems are embedded in the electron transport chain?
PSII, PSI, cytocromes, ferrodoxins are the part of ETC. They transport the protons to ATPase to produce ATP.
What part of aerobic cellular respiration is also known as oxadative phosphorylation?
the electron transport chain
The largest number of ATP molecules are produced in which part of the respiration reaction?
Electron Transport system (Chain), i believe

Which part of cell respiration forms water?
electron transport chain
What part of respiration produce the most ATP?

Which part of the breakdown of glucose requires molecular oxygen?

Does electron transport chain need oxygen?
Yes, the electron transport chain requires oxygen to function effectively. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the chain, which allows for the generation of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. Without oxygen, electron transport and ATP production are significantly impaired.
What photosystems are embedded in the electron transport chain?
PSII, PSI, cytocromes, ferrodoxins are the part of ETC. They transport the protons to ATPase to produce ATP.
What part of aerobic cellular respiration is also known as oxadative phosphorylation?
the electron transport chain
How is light a part of photosynthesis?
Light is needed to excite electrons in the electron transport chain to commence photosynthesis.
What are cytochrome carriers?
they are part of the electron transport chain and they are involved with the pumps that create the concentration gradient of H+
What is the part of mitochondria that contains the electron transport chain?
It take place on inner membrane. It has two membranes
