Summary Introduction

To explain:

How electron transport chain produces most of the ATP during cellular respiration.

Introduction:

The electron transport chain takes place inside the inner membrane of mitochondria. The ETC is based on the principle of redox reaction (reduction or oxidation) where the molecules release their electrons to get oxidized and the subsequent molecules accept the released electrons to get reduced. The NADH and FADH2 (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogen and flavin adenine dinucleotide) molecules enter into the mitochondria where they completely get reduced into water molecules and releases the stored energy.
