Electron Transport chain

Front

Where does the Electron Transport Chain (ETC) take place?

Back

The Electron Transport Chain takes place in the mitochondria.

Front

What are the reactants of the Electron Transport Chain?

Back

The reactants of the Electron Transport Chain are oxygen.

Front

How much ATP is produced from one molecule of glucose during cellular respiration?

Back

38 ATP are produced from one molecule of glucose if everything goes 100% correctly.

Front

What is the next step after glycolysis if oxygen is NOT available?

Back

If oxygen is not available, the next step after glycolysis is fermentation.

Front

What type of process is the Electron Transport Chain?

Back

The Electron Transport Chain is an aerobic process.

Front

What is the primary function of the Electron Transport Chain?

Back

The primary function of the Electron Transport Chain is to produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.

Front

What are the main products of the Electron Transport Chain?

Back

The main products of the Electron Transport Chain are ATP and water.

Front

What role does oxygen play in the Electron Transport Chain?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is oxidative phosphorylation?

Back

Oxidative phosphorylation is the process of ATP production that occurs in the Electron Transport Chain, driven by the transfer of electrons.

Front

What is the significance of the proton gradient in the Electron Transport Chain?

Back

The proton gradient created by the Electron Transport Chain is used to drive ATP synthesis through ATP synthase.
