Concept introduction:

A biochemical reaction refers to a chemical reaction in which one molecule is transformed into different molecules present inside the cell of the living beings. These reactions occur via the help of certain biological enzymes that can alter the rate of the chemical reaction. The term electron transport chain refers to a series of complexes that have the ability to transfer electrons from electron donors to the electron acceptors through redox reactions and these electrons which are transferred get coupled with the transfer of protons across the membrane.
