The Electron Transport Chain (cont.) during the transfer of electrons there is a decrease in reduction potential (AE= -0.32V) the energy released is coupled to several endergonic processes such as synthesis of ATP flow of Ca++into the mitochondrial matrix generation of heat in brown adipose tissue The Electron Transport Chain (cont.) - during the transfer of electrons there is a decrease in reduction potential ( ΔE°ʹ = -0.32V ) - the energy released is coupled to several endergonic processes such as * synthesis of ATP * flow of Ca++ into the mitochondrial matrix * generation of heat in brown adipose tissue
