Answer:

these two processes supply the electrons that are needed for the electron transport chain

Explanation:

Oxidative phosphorylation is the process in which electrons transfer from electron donors to electron acceptors (usually oxygen). These reactions are called redox reactions, and they provide energy used to form ATP.

Electron donors (NADH and FADH2) used in oxidative phosphorylation are produces in some of the catabolic biochemical processes, such as glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and beta oxidation. The NADH and FADH2 are energy-rich molecules because each of them contains a pair of electrons thus having a high transfer potential. Because of that, oxidative phosphorylation could not happen without first obtaining electron donors in glycolysis and citric acid cycle.

What is the difference between atomic mass, relative atomic mass and average atomic mass

vesna_86 [32]

$\bold{\huge{\underline{\purple{ Answer }}}}$

Difference between Atomic mass, relative atomic mass and average atomic mass :-

<h3>Atomic Mass :-</h3>

Atomic mass is the mass of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus of an atom .
It is always calculated for a single element and having direct value
For isotopes also, the atomic mass is calculated separately . Example :- Carbon 12 , carbon 13 and carbon 14 have different atomic mass. 
The SI unit of Atomic mass is " u" and "amu"

<h3>Relative Atomic mass :-</h3>

Relative atomic mass is mean mass of the atoms of an element which is compared to the 1/12th mass of carbon - 12 .
Carbon - 12 is taken as a relative when we calculate the relative atomic mass of any element
For calculating relative atomic mass, we need to know the masses, percentage and abundance of all types of elements
Relative atomic mass is a dimension less quantity

<h3>Average Atomic Mass :-</h3>

Average atomic mass is the average mass of an atoms of a particular element by considering it's isotopes
While we calculate average atomic mass is a standardized number. Whereas, Average atomic mass sometimes varies geologically .
It also includes percentage, abundance and masses of given element .
In average atomic mass, We do not compare mean value with the 1/12 mass of carbon - 12
The unit of Average atomic mass is "Amu" or " u " .
