An uncoupler allows electron transport to proceed, but in effect disconnects it from phosphorylation.

The electron transport takes place along and across the cellular membrane (prokaryotes lack of mitochondria).

As such, it can give a measure of the rate of linear electron transport and so indicates overall photosynthesis.

The protonated and double-reduced forms of Q do not function in electron transport.

Two different variations of electron transport are used during photosynthesis:

Iron-sulfur clusters are best known for their role in the oxidation-reduction reactions of mitochondrial electron transport.

The particles need to be dispersed in order to maximize interface area, but need to aggregate to form networks for electron transport.

In some cases, the energy consumed in reverse electron transport is five times greater than energy gained from the forward process.

Tetrapyrroles has a major role in electron transport and acts as a replacement for many enzymes.

In most organic materials, hole transport is favored over electron transport.
