Electron Transport Chain Process in Plant and Animal Cells! All living things run on energy. If the organism is a plant or autotrophic microbe, the energy comes from sunlight. For all other forms of life, energy is extracted from nutrients through the reactions of metabolism-cellular respiration. (a) Cellular Respiration and the Electron Transport Chain: Regardless of whether the original form [...]
