Electric charge drives this series of pumps and triggers known as eta reactions. What is the next effect of these reactions

Answer 1

Hi,

Electric charge drives this series of pumps and triggers known as ETS reactions.

The net effect of these reactions is the production of water and ATP on the usage of Oxygen (O2).

• Explanation:

ETS reaction or Electron transport system comprise of sequential set of reactions that take place in a living cell and lead to the production of ATP so that organism can perform the day to day energy needing activities. The process of electron transport chain specifically takes place in the mitochondria of animals where different proteins and electron carriers are found. This system accepts the electrons from carrier molecules and then stores it in such a way that it can phophorylate Adenosine di phosphate (ADP) to energy rich molecule Adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP).

A total of 34 ATP molecules are produced in the reaction which then help the organisms to meet energy demands. This marks the last step of Aerobic respiration in animals. Please see the figure for better understanding.
