Question 33
From the text, Step 3 of cellular respiration (the final step) includes the electron transport chain (ETC) and chemiosmosis, as stated "the electron transport chain (ETC) and chemiosmosis".
The text says "These two processes rely on each other to convert the high - energy electrons from the previous stages into ATP" and "They accept the electrons from the electron carriers NADH and FADH₂", so the ETC is powered by high - energy electrons.
The text mentions "use some of the electrons’ energy to pump hydrogen ions (H⁺) across the inner membrane", so the ETC pumps hydrogen (H⁺) ions across the membrane.
