검증된 단계별 안내1
Understand that the electron transport chain (ETC) is the final stage of cellular respiration, occurring in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Recognize that the primary function of the ETC is to transfer electrons from NADH and FADH2 to oxygen, which is the final electron acceptor.
Identify that as electrons move through the chain, they release energy, which is used to pump protons (H+) across the mitochondrial membrane, creating a proton gradient.
Acknowledge that this proton gradient is used by ATP synthase to produce ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate, a process known as oxidative phosphorylation.
Note that the breakdown of glucose into carbon dioxide occurs earlier in cellular respiration, specifically during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, not in the ETC.
