ANSWER:

Electron transport chains/carriers.

Step-by-step explanation:

These are the protein complexes which make use of the energy that is produced when the electrons are transferred in the redox reaction. As a result, the protons are diffused out of the inner membrane of mitochondria. All of these events creates a potential which is used by the ATP synthase to convert ADP to ATP.

The correct answer from the space provided is electron transport chain. It is because this allows the proteins from utilizing the energy that has been produced in which the electrons are being transferred to the redox reaction in which creates the process called the chemiosmosis.
