Where does ETC occur?

ETC occurs in the inner membrane

2
New cards

What is ETC?

A series of proteins that pass electrons down the chain, pumping protons to create a gradient.

3
New cards

The final electron acceptor

Oxygen

4
New cards

Chemiosmosis 

Process where the proton gradient, created by the electron transport chain, powers ATP synthase to phosphorylate ADP into ATP 

5
New cards

What does ADP mean/stand for?

Adenosine diphosphate

ETC

process produces 32-38 ATP or 90% of the ATPin the body.
