oxidative phosphorylation

61
Q

what do NADH and FADH do during oxidative phosphorylation

they alternate reduced and oxidizes states as they accept and donate electrons

65
Q

when going through the pathway of electron transport what happens to the electrons

they drop in free energy as they move down the chain (so electrons move down the chain) and are eventually passed to oxygen, forming water (last step of cellular respiration)
