Electrons are brought to the electron transport system by the oxidation of NADH and FADH2.

The electron transport chain is a group of proteins located within the inner membrane of the mitochondria which transport electrons. Electrons are passed from one member of the transport chain to another in a series of redox reactions, forming a proton gradient which is then used for ATP production.

NADH and FADH2 are reduced electron carriers which are oxidized into NAD+ and FAD near the beginning of the electron transport chain.

The contraction of skeletal muscles is based on ________.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Nerve impulse

Explanation:

A nerve impulse is transmitted through the synaptic cleft by acetylcholine. When an impulse reaches the synaptic knob, it stimulates the vesicles to move towards the presynaptic membrane releasing the acetylcholine. The transmitter substance makes the membrane permeable. An action potential is then formed along the neuron.
