Problem Set & Solutions
Problem Solving Video: Problem Set 8, Problem 2: Bioenergetics of the Electron Transport Chain
In this problem, Dr. Fedeles focuses on the electron transport chain. This fundamental redox process converts the chemical energy of the covalent bonds into an electrochemical gradient.
