Question

Why is the electron transport chain an aerobic process?

Answer 1

Electron transport chain:

1. An electron transport chain is a collection of protein complexes and other molecules that use redox processes to transmit electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors while also transferring protons across a membrane.
2. Aerobic respiration refers to oxygen-dependent cellular respiration pathways (in air).
3. Aerobic processes include the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain.
4. Despite the fact that the Krebs cycle does not require oxygen, it is still classified as an aerobic process because oxygen products are produced.
