Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary source of electrons for the electron transport chain?
  • Step 1: Understand that the electron transport chain is a series of proteins in the cell's mitochondria.
  • Step 2: Know that NADH and FADH2 are molecules that carry electrons.
  • Step 3: Realize that NADH and FADH2 are produced during processes like glycolysis and the Krebs cycle.
  • Step 4: Recognize that these molecules donate their electrons to the electron transport chain to help produce energy.
