What happens with FADH2 donates its electrons to the electron transport chain and what are the final products?
Complex II is reduced and FADH2 is oxidized becoming FAD, the electrons continue down the electron transport chain providing the power to pump protons into the intermembrane space ( not as many protons as NADH because of the short delivery of FADH2 electrons to complex II ) where they fall down their concentration gradient through the synthase. Our electrons exit complex IV into the matrix where oxygen picks up two electrons and two protons forming water. 2H + 1/2O2 --> H2O.

What is the reaction when chlorophyll donates excited electrons?

How are NADH and FADH2 related?
Think of it like this: Every time the electron is handed to another cytochrome, it pumps H+ across a membrane to create a gradient. NADH sticks the electron in higher up the chain than FADH2 does so the NADH electron pumps more protons since it is passed between more cytochromes than the FADH2 electrons. Since every proton pumped across is an ADP-->ATP reaction, the more protons an electron can pump, the more energy you get from that electron. FADH2 is around because it has roles in other areas like synthesis, so by being a little more multifunctional than NADH it sacrifices some in the electron transport role. -Jelanen
How many valance electrons are there in Fr plus?
Fr is in the 1st period. It removes an electron to get noble gas configuration. Fr+ does not have valence electrons.Francium has 1 electron in its outermost energy level. It donates its outermost electron to stabilize its electron configuration. Francium(I) has no valence electrons.
What is the reaction that complex the part of a photosystem that donates excited electrons?
The reaction involves the transfer of excited electrons from chlorophyll to a nearby primary electron acceptor molecule. This process is vital in photosynthesis as it initiates the flow of electrons through the electron transport chain.
If an atom donates or accepts an electron what is it considered?
If an atom donates or accepts an electron it is considered an ion.
How many electrons can a NADH molecule carry?
The electron transport chain is also known as the respiratory chain. NADH carries electrons in the form of hydrogen atoms to the electron transport chain.
How does NADH2 contribute to the electron transport chain in cellular respiration?
NADH2 donates electrons to the electron transport chain, which helps generate energy in the form of ATP during cellular respiration.
During aerobic respiration what directly donates electrons to the electron transport chain at the lowest energy level?
NADH and FADH2 donate electrons to the electron transport chain at the lowest energy level during aerobic respiration. These molecules are produced during earlier stages of cellular respiration (glycolysis and the citric acid cycle) and deliver high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain for ATP production.
When a compound donates electrons the compound becomes what?
When a compound donates electrons, it becomes oxidized. Oxidation involves a loss of electrons.

the reaction center.

What molecule donates the second h plus and e plus to the electron transport chain?
y
What does FADH2 do in ETC?
FADH2 is an electron carrier similar to NADH, but only the second protein in the ETC accepts FADH2 electrons. So FADH2 is used in the ETC, but it produces less ATP due to it only entering the second protein in the ETC.
What is electron donor?
An electron donor is a substance that donates electrons to another substance during a chemical reaction, typically becoming oxidized in the process. In biological systems, molecules like NADH or FADH2 are electron donors that transfer electrons to the electron transport chain.
How many valance electrons are there in Fr plus?
Fr is in the 1st period. It removes an electron to get noble gas configuration. Fr+ does not have valence electrons.Francium has 1 electron in its outermost energy level. It donates its outermost electron to stabilize its electron configuration. Francium(I) has no valence electrons.
Is NADH an electron acceptor?
Not exactly. It is true that NAD is formed during electron transport chain, however, it's not a direct product. NADH is an electron carrier that dumps its electron to the electron transport chain, which oxidizes it into NAD. NAD then goes back to become reduced by glycolysis or citric acid cycle.
Did sodium donates or accept electrons?
Sodium does not donate electrons. Sodium IONISES, that is it loses one electron per atom to form the cation Na(+).
