Textbook Question

Chapter 7, Problem 12A

Which of these is not true of the electron transport chain?
a. The electron transport chain is located on the cristae of the mitochindria.
b. The electron transport chain produces more NADH than any metabolic pathway.
c. The electron transport chain contains cytochrome molecules.
d. The electron transport chain ends when oxygen accepts electrons.

Definition Definition Set of metabolic processes and reactions that produce energy from organic substances such as glucose. Cellular respiration takes place in the organism’s cells, where the chemical energy from nutrients or molecules of oxygen is converted into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Cellular respiration that occurs in the presence of oxygen is called aerobic respiration; in the absence of oxygen, it is called anaerobic respiration.
