Which of The Following Events Takes Place in The Electron Transport Chain?

Answer :

A. The breakdown of NADH and FADH2 to carbon dioxide.

B. Harnessing energy from high-energy electrons derived from glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, and the Krebs cycle.

C. Substrate-level phosphorylation.

D. The breakdown of glucose into six carbon dioxide molecules.

Correct Answer: B. Harnessing energy from high-energy electrons derived from glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, and the Krebs cycle.

The electron transport chain plays the role of passing around electrons through a bunch of protein complexes. It's like a relay race where these electrons carry energy, and in the end, this energy is used to whip up some ATP – the cell's energy currency. Now, where do these energetic electrons come from? Well, they're the MVPs from processes like glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, and the Krebs cycle, making sure there's a constant flow of energy in the cellular powerhouse.
