Electron Transport Chain

Front

Where does the electron transport chain occur?

Back

Mitochondria

Front

What does ATP synthase do?

Back

Create ATP in chemiosmosis.

Front

Why is cellular respiration considered aerobic?

Back

Because it requires oxygen.

Front

Which process creates the most ATP during aerobic cellular respiration?

Back

Electron transport chain.

Front

What drives ATP synthesis by ATP synthase?

Back

H+ movement.

Front

What is the primary function of the electron transport chain?

Back

To transfer electrons and pump protons to create a proton gradient.

Front

What is chemiosmosis?

Back

The movement of ions across a selectively permeable membrane, driving ATP synthesis.

Front

What role do NADH and FADH2 play in the electron transport chain?

Back

They donate electrons to the chain.

Front

What is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain?

Back

Oxygen.

Front

What is the main product of the electron transport chain?

Back

ATP.
