E.T.C (Electron Transport Chain) Flashcards
What is the ETC?
The ETC (Electron Transport Chain) is the third and final step of Cellular respiration.
Where does the ETC take place?
The ETC is a series of proteins located on the mitochondrial membrane.
how does the ETC work?
The ETC uses high energy electrons from the NADH and FADH2 by the Krebs Cycle to move H+ ions across the concentration gradient. These ions pass back down the concentration gradient through ATP synthase to form ATP.
water is formed during the whole procces. how is it formed?
Oxygen receives electrons and H+ and produces a molecule of water.
water is formed during the whole process. how is it formed?
Oxygen receives electrons and H+ and produces a molecule of water.
in total, how much atp is made along the ETC.
The electron transport chain makes 34 ATP.
The electron transport chain makes 34 ATP.
