Hi everyone here we have a question asking us, an electrochemical proton gradient is formed as electrons flow through the electron transport chain. What is the nature of this process? A An ender chronic process. Be an extra chronic process? See both A and B. Or deed neither A nor B and N. Good organic process requires the absorption of energy. An exotic process releases energy so we will know right away. It can't be both A and B. Because they are mutually exclusive and with the electron transport chain has electrons flowing through it, it is releasing energy. So our answer is be an ex ergonomic process. Thank you for listening. Bye.
