Question

Explain how the electron transport chain makes ATP.

Answer 1

Answer:

t

Explanation:

While Glycolysis and the Citric Acid Cycle make the necessary precursors, the electron transport chain is where a majority of the ATP is created. The Electron Transport Chain makes energy ... At the end of the chain the electrons are taken up by oxygen molecules to make water. This is why oxygen is known as the final electron acceptor.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

during electron transport, energy is used to pump hydrogen ions across the mitochondrial inner membrane, from the matrix into the intermembrane space. A chemiosmotic gradient causes hydrogen ions to flow back across the mitochondrial membrane into the matrix through ATP synthase, producing ATP
