Wood that I Could

Mechanisms and principles associated with organic and biochemistry; just remember that a grain of salt or two should be taken with each bite:) Each post will have a brief introduction to the purpose of the post, and THERE WILL BE AN AUDIOVISUAL TUTORIAL CORRESPONDING to the the theme. Just click on the link:) Also, I couldn't figure out how to reverse the order to oldest to newest, so you have to go from the bottom of the page to start at the beginning. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR EXAMS!!!

The Electron Transport Chain!!!

Iron is one of the carriers:)

There are a series of dams that
harness the potential energy
of the water.

This is where the magic happens

The "combustion" of glucose concludes here. The electrons that were harnessed by the MANY redox reaction along the way are going to get put to work. The electron transport chain has a series of complexes that allows the electrons to be passed along from NADH/H+ and FADH2 to O2 for the creation of water. It is truly inspiring.
