Description: The electron transport chain is a series of electron carriers in the mitochondria. Each carrier in the chain is reduced as it picks up electrons and oxidized as it gives up electrons. Exergonic reactions release energy used to form ATP. This mechanism links chemical reactions with the pumping of hydrogen ions and is known as chemiosmosis.
