What role does the electron transport system play? what does it do? why is it part of both processes?

Electron transport chain is the representation of the movement of an electron through electron acceptors which itself gets reduced on the path during both cellular respiration and photosynthesis.

The electron transport chain is important to cell as it helps the cell to produce energy currency molecule of the cell called ATP.

The transfer of electon through the electron transport chain help generate the membrane potential across the membrane which when tries to equilibrate forms the ATP molecules in the cell. The ATP is utilised in performing other metabolic processes.

Thus, this process is important for the production of the ATP in both the process.

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
