NADH2 donates electrons to the electron transport chain, which helps generate energy in the form of ATP during cellular respiration.
it provides energy that powers the formation of ATP.
The electrons in the electron transport chain originate from the breakdown of glucose during cellular respiration.
Water is produced during the electron transport chain stage of cellular respiration. It is a byproduct of the electron transport chain when oxygen is the final electron acceptor, leading to the formation of water molecules.
The electron transport chain takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane during cellular respiration. It is the final stage of aerobic respiration where electrons are passed along a series of protein complexes to generate ATP.
Approximately 34 ATP molecules are generated during the electron transport chain stage of cellular respiration. This is the highest number of ATP molecules produced in the entire process of cellular respiration, making it a crucial step in energy production for the cell.
NAD is reduced during cellular respiration.
Electron Transport SystemThe electron transport chain
The substances that are needed for cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen. During cellular respiration, the cells convert food into usable energy.
NADH is produced in the mitochondria during the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain of cellular respiration. FADH2 is also produced in the mitochondria during the citric acid cycle.
Oxygen consumed during cellular respiration is involved in the electron transport chain; it is the final electron acceptor (this is also what makes it either aerobic or anaerobic respiration).
At the end of cellular respiration, the electron transport chain primarily releases water and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). During this process, electrons are transferred through a series of protein complexes, ultimately combining with oxygen and protons to form water. Additionally, the energy released during these electron transfers is used to pump protons across the mitochondrial membrane, creating a gradient that drives ATP synthesis through ATP synthase.
