Answer

When electrons move along the electron transport chain they undergo a series of redox reaction

Step-by-step explanation

The electron transport chain is a portion of aerobic respiration that utilizes oxygen as the last electron acceptor of the electrons removed in glucose catabolism. The electrons go through a series of redox reactions and releases energy that is used at three points to transport hydrogen ions across a membrane.
