Electron transport chain


Electron transport chains (also called electron transfer chains) are biochemical reactions that produce ATP, which is the energy currency of life.

electron transport chain In a cell membrane, electron carriers and enzymes positioned in an organized array that enhance oxidation-reduction reactions; such systems function in the release of energy that is used in ATP formation and other reactions.

The purple bacteria evolved oxygen respiration by reversing the flow of molecules through their carbon fixing pathways and modifying their electron transport chains. Purple bacteria also enabled the eukaryotic lineage to become aerobic.

A catabolic process that makes a limited amount of ATP from glucose without an electron transport chain and that produces a characteristic end-product, such as ethyl alcohol or lactic acid.
