MCQs on Electron Transport System

The Electron Transport System (ETS) or Electron transport chain is present in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It contains several electron transporters in a series, which facilitate the movement of electrons from one carrier to another in redox reactions. The NADH and FADH2 produced during the citric acid cycle get oxidised. It results in the formation of a proton gradient across the membrane and which stimulates the formation of ATP by oxidative phosphorylation during cellular respiration.
