Question

The description of a cell energy process is listed below.

is aerobic

occurs in a cell's mitochondria

involves electron carriers NADH and FADH2 giving up their electrons

produces a large amount of ATP

Which process is described?


-The calving cycle

-the citric acid cycle

- the electron transport chain

-glycolysis

Answer 1

The electron transport chain

Step-by-step explanation:

During the citric cycle in the matrix of the mitochondria, the NAD+ and FAD+ the metabolic cycle are reduced to NADH and FADH₂ through accepting electrons. The energy harnessed from the metabolic cycle is used to develop a proton motive force across the mitochondrion intermembrane. This potential energy is harnesses by ATP synthase to create ATPs. As the H+ ions drain back into the matrix of the mitochondria, they are used to reduce oxygen to water. In this redox reaction, the FADH₂ and NADH donate their electrons and are recycled back to the citric cycle in their oxidized form.
