What's developed as a result of the electron transport chain?

Question

Question 7 options:

A)

Energy carrier NADPH

B)

Phospholipid bilayer

C)

Membrane potential

D)

New cells

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

C) Membrane potential

The electron transport chain is a series of protein complexes and other molecules that transfer electrons through a membrane within mitochondria (in eukaryotes) or across the plasma membrane (in prokaryotes), resulting in the pumping of protons (H+ ions) across the membrane. This process creates a membrane potential, often referred to as the proton motive force, which is used to drive ATP synthesis.
