Electron transport chain virtual cell animation collection. The electron transport system is the stage in cellular respiration in which oxidative phosphorylation occurs and the bulk of the atp is produced. This group consists of a carbon atom triple bonded to a nitrogen atom. Oxidative phosphorylation oxidative phosphorylation is the mechanism that by which atp captures the free energy in the mitochondrial proton gradient. Figure 9 this is a schematic diagram illustrating the transfer of electrons from nadh, through the electron carriers in the electron transport chain, to molecular oxygen.

Substrate are oxidized and e released passes from complex of low redox potential to higher redox potential, eventually being added to o2 at complex iv to form h 2 0. The electron transport chainoxidative phosphorylation. Oxidative phosphorylation is the metabolic pathway in which electrons are transferred from electron donors to electron acceptors in redox reactions. Atp synthesis in oxidative phosphorylation is directly driven by electrons moving from nadh and fadh 2 to o 2. The electron transport chain is a series of protein complexes embedded in the mitochondrial membrane. In this assessment, you will be required to answer questions about what happens during this step and in cellular respiration. As electrons flow along the chain, the proteins in the chain do the work of setting up the conditions for atp creation.
