Top explanations for Electron Transport Chain
Microbial Metabolism — Brock Biology of Microorganisms▶ 8:12RightOxidative phosphorylation uses an electron transport chain to generate a proton gradient across a membraneWe talked about that a bit earlier, rightMitochondria — Cell Biology: Organelle Structure and Function▶ 6:10Which wereThe breakdown of fatty acids, the citric acid cycle, the entire electron transport chain, and of course ATP synthesisSo this was the era where the mitochondrion went from being a histological curiosity to the known powerhouse of the cellCellular Energetics Explained — Molecular Cell Biology▶ 4:47The energy, whether it's from glucose or from a photon of light, is used to push electrons down an energy staircaseWe call it the electron transport chainAnd that downhill flow of electrons is physically coupled to pumping protons across a very specific, very impermeable membrane
