1
Q
Where does the ETC happen?
A
in the innermitochondrial membrane
2
Q
Why is water so important in the ETC?
A
because it is the most stable of all of the electron carriers and also the ending place for the electrons
3
Q
What is the point of the ETC?
A
to harvest energy from the redox potential from the highest energy (nucleotide electron carriers) to the lowest energy (water)
4
Q

A
they are more easily oxidized
5

cytochrome c and coenzyme q
