17
Q

Energy input in the electron transport chain

A

Hydrogen ions and ATP

18
Q

What is the Electron Transport Chain?

A

A series of hydrogen ions in the outer ring of the mitochondria that create a membrane potential that produces energy

19
Q

Oxygen use in the electron transport chain

A

Oxygen binds to the hydrogen molecules that have been spun out of the mitochondria membrane to get rid of them

20
Q

Byproducts of the electron transport chain

A

H^2O molecules. ATP

21
Q

Cellular Location of the electron transport chain

A

Mitochondria

22
Q

Energy efficiency of the Glucose to ATP energy producion

A

92% effective. Requires little energy

23
Q

Difference Between Anaerobic and Aerobic Respiration

A

Anaerobic does not oxygen. Aerobic uses oxygen
