Where is the electron transport chain for cellular respiration located?
An electron transport chain (ETC) is a series of compounds that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via redox reactions, and couples this electron transfer with the transfer of protons (H+ ions) across a membrane. This creates an electrochemical proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis, or the generation of chemical energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The final acceptor of electrons in the electron transport chain is molecular oxygen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_transport_chain
It is located in the inner mitochrondial membrane
i have one more site you can look at if u need it bro.
"This depends on whether you are a eukaryote, bacteria or archaea. In eukaryotes, the electron transport chain components are on the mitochondrial membrane.In bacteria and archaea, since there are no membrane-enclosed compartments, they are on the cellular membrane." http://www.answers.com/Q/The_electron_transport_chains_of_cellular_respiration_are_located
im going to leave the question open in-case someone needs it
i have the best site right here >>>>>>>> http://www.scienceprofonline.org/metabolism/electron-transport-chain-cellular-respiration.html
i got my answer from http://www.scienceprofonline.org/metabolism/electron-transport-chain-cellular-respiration.html
lol its the same one bro the one u said is right..!!!
