In oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondria transfer high-energy electrons through the electron transport chain from activated carriers like NADH. The stage of photosynthesis also uses an electron transport chain to pump protons and produce ATP. In this case, where do the high-energy electrons come from? ADP, chlorophyll, FADH2, NADPH.

Both cellular respiration and photosynthesis rely on electron transport chains embedded in membranes to produce ATP molecules. Which correctly describes the difference between the two types of electron transport chains? Group of answer choices The final electron acceptor in cellular respiration is glucose, while the final electron acceptor in photosynthesis is water. The electron source in cellular respiration is water, while the electron source in photosynthesis is molecular oxygen. The final electron acceptor in cellular respiration is water, while the final electron acceptor in photosynthesis is molecular oxygen. The electron source in cellular respiration is glucose, while the electron source in photosynthesis is water.
