Answer: The electron transport chain consists of complexes which are the proton pump for the hydrogen ions across the mitochondrial membrane which allows the synthesis of the ATP (energy currency).

Step-by-step explanation:

The electron transport chain occurs in the mitochondria. ATP synthase present in the inner mitochondrial membrane is a carrier of electron. FADH2 AND NADH two molecules supply high energy electrons from the citric acid cycle from the electron transport chain at complex I (NADH coenzyme Q reductase) and II (succinate dehydrogenase)respectively.
