Which of the following statements best describes the electron transport chain?
A) It is driven by ATP hydrolysis.
B) It includes a series of hydrolysis reactions associated with mitochondrial membranes.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electron transport chain consists of a series of redox (reduction-oxidation) reactions that occur in the inner mitochondrial membrane of eukaryotic cells and the plasma membrane of prokaryotic cells. It is not driven by ATP hydrolysis, does not involve hydrolysis reactions, and does not occur in the cytoplasm.
