What role does the electron transport system play? What does it do? Why is it part of both processes?
Added by Tim P.
Step 1
It is responsible for the transfer of electrons from high-energy molecules, such as NADH and FADH2, to oxygen molecules, ultimately producing water. This transfer of electrons generates a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, which drives the Show more…
