How the Electron Transport Chain Converts ADP into ATP?

In this video, we will learn about the electron transport chain (ETC), a series of proteins embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane that transfer electrons from NADH and FADH2 to oxygen. As electrons move through the ETC, protons are pumped out of the mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space. This creates a proton gradient, which drives the synthesis of ATP from ADP and Pi by ATP synthase.

The ETC is the final stage of cellular respiration, and it is responsible for the production of most of the ATP that cells use for energy. In fact, the ETC can produce up to 32 ATP molecules from a single molecule of glucose.

The ETC is a complex process, but it is essential for life. Without the ETC, cells would not be able to produce enough ATP to function.

In this video, we will discuss the following topics:

What is the electron transport chain?
How does the electron transport chain work?
What are the products of the electron transport chain?
What is the role of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration?
