The electron transport chain is located predominantly in the:
A. Outer membrane of the mitochondria
B. Intermembrane space of the mitochondria ...
One of the electron transport chain proteins. Complex II accepts electrons from cytochrome c and passes them to oxygen to form water (H2O). Also referred to as the .

Respiratory chain The path that electrons travel in going from NADH or FADH2 to O2; consists of three complexes that pump protons as a result of the electron transport and two mobile electron carriers. Also called the electron transport ...
Both of these processes are accomplished via the mechanism of an electron transport chain.
The purple bacteria evolved oxygen respiration by reversing the flow of molecules through their carbon fixing pathways and modifying their electron transport chains. Purple bacteria also enabled the eukaryotic lineage to become aerobic.
The energy for the pumping comes from the coupled oxidation-reduction reactions in the electron transport chain.
Members of this genus are photoautotrophs that can generate chemical energy through an electron transport chain in the cytoplasmic membrane that is associated with a light-harvesting complex housed in a specialized organelle called the chlorosome.
A catabolic process that makes a limited amount of ATP from glucose without an electron transport chain and that produces a characteristic end-product, such as ethyl alcohol or lactic acid.
