    The electron transport chain is a series of protein complexes located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It powers the synthesis of ATP through the process of oxidative phosphorylation. During electron transport chain, electrons are passed from one molecule to another, releasing energy used to pump protons across the membrane. This proton gradient drives ATP synthesis via ATP synthase. Oxygen is essential as the terminal electron acceptor to make the process continuous. The overall reaction produces approximately 38 ATP molecules.

    ELECTRON What is the process of ETC?

    TRANSPORT CHAIN

    is a series of proteins and organic molecules.


    found in the inner membrane of the
    mitochondria
    How Does ETC Chemiosmosis

    Work?

    In the electron transport chain,


    electrons are passed from one CHEMIOSMOSIS - The
    process of using the released
    molecule to another, and energy energy from the reactions
    released in these electron that are used to make ATP
    transfers is used to form an
    electrochemical gradient.
    How Does ETC How many ATP?

    Work?

    Oxygen is essential in this process

    WHY IS OXYGEN SO Oxygen in the ETC

    IMPORTANT?

    ATP won't be produce
    reactions which they need to function
    if there's no Oxygen and eventually they will die.

    SUMMARY OF ETC

    The electron transport chain, which is made up of


    protein complexes, powers the synthesis of ATP,
    the fundamental unit of energy in all living things.
    ETC is the 3rd step in the Cellular Respiration.
    Oxidative Phosphorylation is not an Electron

    Electron Transport Chain IS part of Oxidative
    Phosphorylation.
