The electron transport chain through glucose
Chat with our AI personalities
The ultimate destination of electrons stripped from glucose is the electron transport chain in the mitochondria. Here, the electrons are used to generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation, the final step in cellular respiration.
As they both accept electrons and are reduced, but NAD carries stripped electrons from glucose ( becoming NADH ) to the electron transfer chain while oxygen is the final electron acceptor.
No, it is not possible to stop the electrons from revolving around the nucleus unless they are stripped off from the nucleus.
A positive charge
Many things are composed of charged particles, including atoms (which consist of positively charged protons, neutral neutrons, and negatively charged electrons), ions (atoms with a net positive or negative charge), and plasma (a state of matter in which electrons are stripped from atoms, creating a mix of charged particles).
