5 Questions
What is the role of the electron transport chain in oxidative phosphorylation?
Using energy from electrons to create a proton gradient
Where are the complexes involved in electron transport located?
In the inner membrane of mitochondria
From where do the complexes in the electron transport chain take electrons?
Molecules that come from food
What happens to the energy of electrons as they move from one protein complex to the next in the electron transport chain?
Energy is lost
What do protein complexes use the energy from electrons for?
To pump protons (H+ ions) from inside the mitochondria
Learn about the process of oxidative phosphorylation, where energy from moving electrons creates a proton gradient to produce ATP, and the electron transport chain's role in this process.
