Document Summary

Electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation are two interconnected processes that occur in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. These processes play a critical role in energy production through the generation of adenosine triphosphate (atp), the universal energy currency of cells. Electron transport involves the transfer of electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors, while oxidative phosphorylation utilizes the energy from electron transfer to synthesize atp. This note provides an overview of the major pathways and processes involved in electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation: electron transport chain (etc): The electron transport chain is a series of protein complexes embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It consists of four main protein complexes: complex i (nadh dehydrogenase), complex ii (succinate dehydrogenase), complex iii (cytochrome bc1 complex), and complex iv (cytochrome c oxidase). Additionally, there are two electron carriers, coenzyme q (coq) and cytochrome c, that shuttle electrons between the complexes: complex i:
