explain the electron transport system and oxidative phosphorylation
Answers
Explanation:
Oxidative phosphorylation is a process involving a flow of electrons through the electron transport chain, a series of proteins and electron carriers within the mitochondrial membrane. This flow of electrons allows the electron transport chain to pump protons to one side of the mitochondrial membrane.
electron transport system: The electron transport chain is a series of electron transporters embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane that shuttles electrons from NADH and FADH2 to molecular oxygen. In the process, protons are pumped from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space, and oxygen is reduced to form water.
oxidative phosphorylation: it is the metabolic pathway in which cells use enzymes to oxidise nutrients and release energy which is used to produce adenosine triphosphate.
