Electron Transport Chain: Cellular Respiration
from Metabolism Made Easy · host A J Ghalayini, Ph.D.
The podcast describes the cellular role of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) and oxidative phosphorylation. This coupled oxidative process converts high energy molecules (NADH, FADH2) into a usable form of energy (ATP) by transporting their electrons to oxygen through the ETC. Oxygen consumption by the ETC accounts for the major cellular use of oxygen by the cell.
