The electron transport chain,a series of membrane-associated electron carriers,loses most of the energy by driving several transmembrane

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electron transport chain pumps protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane, creating an electrochemical gradient which is used to generate ATP through the process of chemiosmosis. This is the main way in which the electron transport chain couples the energy released by electron transfer to the production of ATP. Therefore, option A is the best choice. The other options (B, C, D and E) are not processes associated with the electron transport chain.
