Electron Transfer

Postby Amy Kumar 1I » Sun Feb 23, 2020 11:53 pm

Why cannot the electron transfer of one cell be measured?

Electrons are too small and fast moving to be quantified, so they cannot be directly counted.

Electrons are transferred from one species to another, so there is no way of measuring the electrons lost or gained by a single species without a second one to accept or donate those electrons.

Electrons are transferred, so there has to be another to accept or donate that singular one.
