CM-UY 1004 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Glycogen, Citric Acid Cycle, Membrane Transport Protein
Document Summary
The high energy electrons produced in the krebs cycle are passed to the electron transport chain a. ii. The electron transport chain uses the high-energy electrons from krebs. High energy electrons from nadh and fadh2 are passed along the electron transport chain a. iv. In eukaryotes, the electron transport chain is composed of a series of carrier proteins that is located in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion a. v. In prokaryotes, the same chain is in the cell membrane a. vi. High energy electrons are passed from one carrier protein to tge next a. vii. At the end of the electron transport chain is an enzyme that combines electrons from the electron chain with hydrogen ions and oxygen to form water a. viii. Oxygen serves as the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain a. ix. Oxygen is essential for getting rid of low- energy electrons and hydrogen ions, the wastes of cellular respiration a. x.
