What is the purpose of the electron transport chain in the thylakoid membrane?

Biology
1 answer:
Feliz [49]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

To produce energy in form of ATP

Explanation:

The thylakoid membrane harbors photosystems that will receive light photons, ejecting electrons from a main chlorophyl molecule in a reaction center, to other acceptors.  These electrons will reach the electron transport chain to create a proton gradient, and subsequently, to produce ATP.  Later on these electrons will reach the other photosystem, to produce reducing power.  This is in plants.

Cyclic photosystems also exist, in some bacteria, for example,  and only produce energy as ATP.  They also have an electron transport chain.

VladimirAG [237]

D. The body will be able to produce the antibodies and memory cells needed to fight disease and recover quickly.  Exercise and vitamin C is what creates antibodies and white blood cells that fight diseases. Plus exercise can clear the lungs of any dangerous germs that can cause illness like a cold or flu. And sleeping well and resting would remove any kind of stress one would receive from exercising.
