At the end of the electron transport chain the electrons are taken up by oxygen to generate

ATP
heat
glucose
water

Expert Solution

In the electron transport chain(ETC), the hydrogen ion(proton) is accumulated in the inner mitochondrial space. At the end of the ETC, the electron is taken by the oxygen, and the hydrogen moves to the stroma of mitochondria, leading to the formation of water.

The correct answer is option D.) Water.

The electron transport chain has two diffusible electron carriers, ubiquinone, which shuttles electrons to the third mitochondrial complex, and cytochrome c, which shuttles electrons to the last mitochondrial complex (see figure below). Would it be possible for cells to use only one of these two diffusible electron carriers to shuttle electrons at each of these two steps of the electron transport chain? Why or why not?

1. Compare and contrast the point of entry for NADH-derived electrons into the electron-transport chain on the matrix side vs the cytosolic side of the inner mitochondrial membrane. Which of these entry points provides the most energy? Why?

Explain how the electrons, which have reduced coenzymes, are delivered to the electron transport chain and how they are transported to oxygen. In what form is the energy stored as, when the electrons are passed through the chain. Explain how the energy generated by the electron transport chain is coupled to the formation of ATP by oxidative phosphorylation.
