Question

From one run of the proposed electron transport chain, how many ATP equivalents in energy could theoretically be generated?a) 3 b) 4 c) 5 d) 6 e) 7

Answer 1

Answer:

b) 4

Explanation:

The electron transport chain may be defined as the series of the complexes which transfer the electrons from electron donors to the electron acceptors through a redox reactions, and also couples the electron transfer along with the transfer of the protons across the membrane.

The electron transport chain or the ETC is made up of peptides and enzymes, and some other molecules.

The full form of ATP is Adenosine triphosphate. It is a chemical compound that provides energy to the living cells.

From one run in the ETC or the electron transport chain, 4 ATP can be generated.
