Summary Introduction

To review:

The comparison between the function of electron transport system (ETS) in lithotrophy and respiration.

Introduction:

The process of electron transfer through a series of membrane-bound carrier complexes is called electron transport system (ETS), also known as the electron transport chain (ETC). Lithotrophy is a type of metabolism that uses an inorganic molecule as the source of electrons. In respiratory metabolism, electrons are transferred from an organic molecule to the molecular oxygen.
