What is the electron transport system, and what are its functions?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electron transport system (ETS) is a chain of carriers consisting of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), flavin nucleotides (FAD, sometimes FMN), coenzyme Q (CoQ or ubiquinone) and the cytochromes (Cyt b, c, a, `a_3`) localized in `F_1` particles of mitochondria.
