      Respiration electron transport in Mitochondria and Bacteria:           Respiration, involving electron transport,  generates ATP in both mitochondria and bacteria, but with structural and functional differences . In eukaryotes, the electron transport chain (ETC) resides in the  inner mitochondrial membrane ,  while in bacteria, it's located on the  cytoplasmic (plasma) membrane .  While the core process of electron transfer to produce an  electrochemical gradient  is similar, bacterial ETCs are more diverse in their carriers and electron acceptors, and generally less efficient than the mammalian mitochondrial ETC.   Mitochondria          Mitochondria are tiny organelles found in the cells of most eukaryotes, including animals, plants, and fungi. They're often referred to as the "powerhouses of the cell" because their primary function is to generate energy for the...
