Question

19 When a person is suffocating for lack of air (oxygen), how would the electron transfer chain in their cellsbe affected? Part 2 of 2 Multiple Choice eBook transport chain would continue only f glycolysis continued producing NADH The electron transport chain would stop because the carrier proteins would have no way to unloed electrons The electron transport chain would consinue, but it would produce fewer ATP per glucose molecule. The electron transport chain would stop undl the cell found another source of hydrogen ions.

Explanation / Answer

In the above mentioned case ..

The electron transport chain stops because the carrier proteins would have no way to unload electrons.

If the oxygen is not there to accept the electrons at the end of the election transport chain the ETC will stop working and no longer ATP is produced. If ATP is not there cells May not work so leads to die.
