NADH and FADH2 made in the citric acid cycle (in the mitochondrial matrix) deposit their electrons into the electron transport chain at complexes I and II, respectively. ... The electrons flow through the electron transport chain, causing protons to be pumped from the matrix to the intermembrane space.

Function. Ferredoxin: NADP+ reductase is the last enzyme in the transfer of electrons during photosynthesis from photosystem I to NADPH. The NADPH is then used as a reducing equivalent in the reactions of the Calvin cycle.

NADH and FADH2 are reducing equivalents that donate electrons at complexes I and II, respectively. These electrons are then transferred in multiple redox reactions and are carried to the complexes III and IV.

The NADH and FADH2 produced during the Krebs cycle pass their electrons to the electron transport chain (ETC), the final stage of respiration (Figure 7). ... Electrons from NADH and FADH2 enter the ETC at complex I and II, respectively.

For every pair of electrons transported to the electron transport chain by a molecule of NADH, between 2 and 3 ATP are generated. For each pair of electrons transferred by FADH2, between 1 and 2 ATP are generated.

The respiratory chain, otherwise known as the electron transport chain, resides in the mitochondria. ... The chain consists of a series of electron carriers which can accept and then donate electrons, while the resulting production of energy is used to stimulate the formation of ATP via oxidative phosphorylation.

In the electron transport chain, electrons are passed from one molecule to another, and energy released in these electron transfers is used to form an electrochemical gradient. In chemiosmosis, the energy stored in the gradient is used to make ATP.

Electron Transport Chain. The electron transport chain (aka ETC) is a process in which the NADH and [FADH2] produced during glycolysis, β-oxidation, and other catabolic processes are oxidized thus releasing energy in the form of ATP. The mechanism by which ATP is formed in the ETC is called chemiosmotic phosphorolation ...

The electron transport chain is built up of peptides, enzymes, and other molecules. The flow of electrons through the electron transport chain is an exergonic process. The energy from the redox reactions create an electrochemical proton gradient that drives the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

The electron transport chain and ATP synthase are embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. NADH and FADH2 made in the citric acid cycle (in the mitochondrial matrix) deposit their electrons into the electron transport chain at complexes I and II, respectively.

Figure 1. The electron transport chain is a series of electron transporters embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane that shuttles electrons from NADH and FADH2 to molecular oxygen. ... The common feature of all electron transport chains is the presence of a proton pump to create a proton gradient across a membrane.

The electron transport chain is a system of molecules through which electrons are transferred to generate ATP. It has an important role in both photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Figure 1. The electron transport chain is a series of electron transporters embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane that shuttles electrons from NADH and FADH2 to molecular oxygen. ... Note, however, that the electron transport chain of prokaryotes may not require oxygen as some live in anaerobic conditions.

Cellular Respiration Summary Finally, in the electron transport chain, the electron carriers were used to donate electrons and protons that turned oxygen molecules into water and created the remainder of the 32 ATP molecules - all from one glucose molecule.

The cofactor is, therefore, found in two forms in cells: NAD+ is an oxidizing agent – it accepts electrons from other molecules and becomes reduced. This reaction forms NADH, which can then be used as a reducing agent to donate electrons. These electron transfer reactions are the main function of NAD.

Every time a pair of high-energy electrons moves down the Electron Transport Chain, the energy is used to move Hydrogen Ions across the Membrane. These Ions then rush back across the Membrane with enough force to spin the ATP Synthase and generate enormous amounts of ATP.
