1
New cards

What delivers high-energy electrons to the ETC

NADH and FADH2

2
New cards

Why are the e- carried to the ETC

To create ATP vis chemiosmosis

3
New cards

How do the electrons move

They move in steps from carrier to carrier as they move closer to oxygen

4
New cards

What happens to each carrier molecule while moving down the chain

They increase slightly in electronegativity

5
New cards

What is oxygen’s role

It’s the ultimate e- acceptor at the end of the chain and is the most electronegative

6
New cards

Inputs

10 NADH (2 from glycolysis, 2 from the pyruvate, and 6 from Krebs cycle)

2 FADH2 (from the 2 turns of the Krebs cycle)

6 O2

7
New cards

Outputs

30-32 ATP

12 H2O
