purpose of electron transport chain
So sit back, relax and read. The purpose of the electron transport chain is harvesting the energy of the reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH2, which were formed in Glycolysis and the Kreb's cycle.Much of the free energy of these reduced coenzymes is transferred to ATP.ADH and FADH2 that have been formed so far transfer the hydrogen atom electrons they carry to a series of compounds, mainly proteins, which are associated with the inner mitochondrial membrane, called the Electron transport chain.
