Sparse columns are ordinary columns that have an optimized storage for null values. Sparse columns reduce the space requirements for null values at the cost of more overhead to retrieve nonnull values. Consider using sparse columns when the space saved is at least 20 percent to 40 percent.
So sit back, relax and read. The purpose of the electron transport chain is harvesting the energy of the reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH2, which were formed in Glycolysis and the Kreb's cycle.Much of the free energy of these reduced coenzymes is transferred to ATP.ADH and FADH2 that have been formed so far transfer the hydrogen atom electrons they carry to a series of compounds, mainly proteins, which are associated with the inner mitochondrial membrane, called the Electron transport chain.
In both cases the electron transport chain uses the energy to pump hydrogen ions across a membrane. The protons pass back through ATP synthase, driving the production of ATP. In photosynthesis this ATP is used to construct organic molecules from carbon dioxide and water. View the animation below, then complete the quiz to test your knowledge of the concept.
