The product of the ETC, ATP, is used dozens of cellular processes, many of which are still undiscovered. One function is in sarcomeres of the muscle fibers- myosin heads will bend in the presence of ATP. ATP powers the channels across neuron membranes, producing the resting potential voltage. ATP can also be assimilated directly into an RNA strand as an adenine nucleotide if two of the phosphate groups are removed. Another use is in biosynthesis reactions, where ATP binds to a substrate and then swaps with some particle in a downhill, spontaneous single-replacement reaction.
NADH and FADH2 dump electrons into the electron transport chain during cellular respiration.
The series of electron acceptors in the thylakoid membrane is known as the electron transport chain. As electrons move through the chain, they lose energy, which is used to pump protons across the membrane, creating a proton gradient. This gradient is then used by ATP synthase to produce ATP through a process known as chemiosmosis.
The electron transport chain provides the most energy.
Energy is transferred to the chain of proteins in the electron transport. A electron transport chain is a series of compounds that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors through redox reactions.
The electron transport chain is a series of protein complexes embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. As electrons pass through this chain, energy is released and used to pump protons across the membrane, creating an electrochemical gradient. This gradient is then used by ATP synthase to generate ATP, the main energy source for cellular functions.
NADH and FADH2 dump electrons into the electron transport chain during cellular respiration.
The electron transport chain is the driving energy behind ATP synthesis. The energy itself comes from electron donors. In chloroplast, this donor's glucose.
The electron transport chain uses the high-energy electrons from the Krebs cycle to convert ADP into ATP.

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)
NADH and FADH2 are the two things that pass high-energy electrons on to the electron transport chain. NADH stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. FAD stands for flavin adenine dinucleotide which can be reduced to FADH2.
True!
Produce ATP using energy of NADH2 and FADH2
electron transport chain?
No, heat energy is not required to establish the electron transport chain. The electron transport chain is a series of protein complexes in the inner mitochondrial membrane that uses energy from electrons to drive the production of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. Heat energy is not directly involved in this process.
