Orderly extraction of energy from electrons
True or false:
The ETC enables the cell to extract all the energy from electrons at once.
False
Like respiration of glucose, the ETC occurs over several steps.
Once all their energy has been extracted, electrons are transported to the…
Final electron acceptor
During aerobic respiration, the final electron acceptor is…
Molecular oxygen
True or false:
The electron transport chain directly produces ATP.
False
The electron transport chain produces a proton gradient, which is then used to produce ATP.
The electron transport chain involves a series of ____ and ____.
Membrane-bound protein complexes and lipid-soluble electron carriers.
The electron transport chain occurs in the…
Inner mitochondrial membrane
The ETC includes three ____ that harvest energy from electrons and pass the lower-energy electrons onward.
Transmembrane enzyme complexes
The transmembrane protein complexes use the energy from electrons to…
Pump protons from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space.
The ETC ensures that there are ____ protons in the intermembrane space than in the matrix.

True or false:
The electrons in FADH2 only pass through two of the transmembrane complexes.
True
Which transmembrane enzyme complex does FADH2 electrons skip?
NADH dehydrogenase
Instead of giving its electrons to NADH hydrogenase, FADH2 transfers them to…
