electron transport

English - Turkish

Definition of electron transport in English Turkish dictionary: elektron taşıma
electron transport chain: (Biyoloji) (Hücre) Solunum dizisi, elektron/eksicik taşınım dizisi

English - English

Definition of electron transport in English English dictionary: The successive passage of electrons from one cytochrome or flavoprotein to another by a series of oxidation-reduction reactions during the aerobic production of ATP, with the electrons originating from an oxidizable substrate and ultimately being passed to molecular oxygen. The oxidation-reduction reactions generate the energy required for the production of ATP
electron transport chain: (Biyoloji) The sequential transfer of electrons especially by cytochromes in cellular respiration from an oxidizable substrate to molecular oxygen by a series of oxidation-reduction reactions
electron transport chain: (Biyoloji) An electron transport chain associates electron carriers and mediating biochemical reactions that produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the energy currency of life. Only two sources of energy are available to living organisms: oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions and sunlight (used for photosynthesis). Organisms that use redox reactions to produce ATP are called chemotrophs. Organisms that use sunlight are called phototrophs. Both chemotrophs and phototrophs utilize electron transport chains to convert energy into ATP
