1 Anemometer: A tool used by meteorologists to measure wind speeds. 2  Speed: How fast or slowly something is moving.  Revolutions per minute (rpm): How many times something goes around in a complete circle, or rotates, in one minute. The anemometer you will make in this exercise measures the wind speed in rpm.
Electron acceptors participate in electron-transfer reactions. In this context, the oxidizing agent is called an electron acceptor and the reducing agent is called an electron donor. A classic oxidizing agent is the ferrocenium ion Fe(C. 5H.
An electron transport chain (ETC) is a series of compounds that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via redox reactions, and couples this electron transfer with the transfer of protons (H + ions) across a membrane.lectron transport chains are redox reactions that transfer electrons from an electron donor to an electron acceptor. The transfer of electrons is coupled to the translocation of protons across a membrane, producing a proton gradient. The proton gradient is used to produce useful work.
