Electron transport chain occurs on inner membrane (cristae)Involves a series of membrane proteins (cytochromes)
cytochromes
NADH and FADH2 (produced during CAC) give up H+ ions and electrons to cytochromes
H+ ions accumulate in intermembrane spaceElectrons are transported through chain of cytochromes
Electron Transport Chain

Gradients drive H+ ions through protein channel, providing energy to synthesize ATP
High concentration of H+ ions in intermembrane space creates concentration gradient and electrostatic gradient

Electron Transport Chain
As electrons released by NADH and FADH2 move through ETC, each cytochrome is alternately reduced and then oxidized, until electrons combine with final electron acceptor, oxygen

When electrons are accepted by O2, H+ ions are also picked up, resulting in formation of H2O
