Question

How many ATP are produced in the electron transport chain?

Answer 1

Electron transport chain:

1. Electron transport is described as a series of redox processes, similar to a relay race.
2. It is a cluster of proteins that transfer electrons through a membrane within mitochondria to form a gradient of protons which accelerates the creation of ATP.
3. The electron transport chain is located on the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
4. The electron transport cycle yields around 30-32 ATP molecules, according to current studies.
