The Electron Transport System (ETS) is a crucial process in cellular respiration that occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. It involves a series of protein complexes that transfer electrons from molecules like NADH and FADHâ‚‚ to oxygen.

As electrons move through the system, they release energy, which is used to pump protons across the membrane, creating a proton gradient. This gradient powers ATP synthase, an enzyme that produces ATP, the cell’s main energy currency. At the end of the chain, oxygen combines with electrons and protons to form water. The ETS is essential for generating the majority of ATP in cells.
