Electron Transport chain | found on the inner membrane of the mitochondria and consists of a series of carrier protiens |
Step one | NADH and FADH2 from glycolic and citric acid pathways release high energy electrons and pass them to the electron transport chain |
Step 2 | begin in a high energy state and as they flow along the chain of electron acceptors they release energy |
What is this energy used for? | The energy is used to pump hydrogen ions across the membrane from the matrix side to the intermediate space, where there is a higher concentration of hydrogen ions |
Step 3 | The return flow of hydrogen ions to the matrix makes ATP synthase to synthesize ATP |
Step 4 | At the end of the electron chain the electrons combine with oxygen and at the same time oxygen combines with a pair of hydrogen ions to form water |
Final Electron Accepter | Oxygen |
