Responses
They move down the electron transport chain.
They move down the electron transport chain.
They remove electrons from the electron transport chain.
They remove electrons from the electron transport chain.
They move electrons to the electron transport chain.
They move electrons to the electron transport chain.
They accept electrons in order to power the electron transport chain.
The correct answer is:
They move electrons to the electron transport chain.
NADH and FADH2 play a crucial role in the electron transport chain because they are responsible for delivering electrons to the chain. These high-energy electrons are then passed along the chain, powering the production of ATP.
