Automobile Fuel
Cells:
Fuel Cells operate like the
ETC of mitochondria.
1.
hydrogen atoms (H2) enter into a fuel cell and an
anode splits it to electron and protons. 2.
Electrons move along a external circuit to power a drive
motor. 3. Protons
migrate through a membrane toward a cathode. 4.
A catalyst combines the electrons and protons with oxygen from
the air generating water and heat. Many membrane cells can be
combined for greater power.
