Which of the following is continually passed from one enzyme to the next during the Electron Transport Chain?

Question options:

Protons

NADPH

Electrons

ATP

The correct answer is electrons.

Electron transport chain refers to an array of complexes, which mediates electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors through redox reactions, and combines the transfer of electrons with the transfer of protons through a membrane.

This produces an electrochemical proton gradient, which instigates the production of ATP. The ultimate electron acceptor in the electron transport chain is oxygen in aerobic respiration and sulfate in anaerobic respiration.
