| In the inner membrane of the mitochondrion is the electron transport chain which is a collection of molecules. Free energy drops as electrons travel down the chain. During the electron transport along the chain, electron carriers alternate between reduced and oxidized states as they accept and donate electrons from there above neighbor. NADH is the first molecule of the chain. FADH2 is a source of electrons for the transport chain. It is a reduced product of the krebs cycle. The chain makes no ATP directly. The mitochondrion couples the electron transport and energy releases ATP synthesis by chemiosmosis. Chemiosmosis is the process where energy is stored in the form of hydrogen ion gradient across a membrane is used to make cellular work. |
