In prokaryotic cells, the electron transport chain is located in the plasma membrane. Unlike eukaryotic cells, which have mitochondria to house this process, prokaryotes utilize their cell membrane to carry out oxidative phosphorylation and energy production. The components of the electron transport chain are embedded in the membrane, facilitating the transfer of electrons and the generation of a proton gradient.
What else can I help you with?
A series of molecules found in the inner membranes of mitochondria?
the electron transport chain
Where are the molecule of the electron transport chain found in plants?
thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts
The electron chain can be found in?
The electron transport chain is found in the inner mitochondrial membrane of eukaryotic cells. In prokaryotic cells, it is located in the plasma membrane. It is a series of protein complexes and molecules that transfer electrons during cellular respiration to generate ATP.
Where is the electron transport chain is found in eukaryotes?
Electron transport occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. Specifically, the four protein complexes of the electron transport chain (ETC) exist as transmembrane complexes in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
What structure that is found in the thylakoid membrane is important to chemiosmosis?
ATP synthase is the structure found in the thylakoid membrane that is important for chemiosmosis. It is responsible for generating ATP by utilizing the proton gradient created during the photosynthetic electron transport chain.
Where are the proteins for the electron transport chain located?
The electron transport chain is located in the cristae of a mitochondria. It is the enzymes used during the Krebs cycle that are found in the matrix of the mitochondria. In plants, the electron transport chain is located in the thylakoid membrane of a chlorophyll.
An electron transport chain that produces ATP is part of both the cellular respiration process and?
the photosynthesis process in cells. In cellular respiration, the electron transport chain is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, while in photosynthesis, it is found in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts. Both processes utilize the electron transport chain to generate ATP through the process of oxidative phosphorylation.
A series of molecules found in the inner membranes of mitochondria and chloroplasts through which electron pass in a process that causes protons to build up on one side of the membrane?
This process is called the electron transport chain. The molecules involved are typically cytochromes and other protein complexes, such as Complexes I, II, III, IV in mitochondria and the cytochrome b6f complex in chloroplasts. As electrons pass through the chain, they help pump protons across the membrane creating an electrochemical gradient that is used to produce ATP through ATP synthase.
Where are molecules of electron transport chain found in plant cells?
thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts
The electron transport chains of cellular respiration are located?
This depends on whether you are a eukaryote, bacteria or archaea. In eukaryotes, the electron transport chain components are on the mitochondrial membrane.In bacteria and archaea, since there are no membrane-enclosed compartments, they are on the cellular membrane.
Can the electron transport chain be found in animals or plants?
Yes, the electron transport chain is present in both animals and plants. It is a crucial process in cellular respiration where energy is converted from electrons passed along a series of protein complexes to form ATP, the cell's energy currency.
Where does a Electron Transport Chain happen?
In aerobic respiration, electron transport occurs inside the mitochondria. In photosynthesis, electron transport occurs inside the chloroplasts.
