Electrons are transferred via Hydrogen atoms bound to NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). Essentially, the krebs cycle harvests electrons (Hydrogen atoms) from pyruvates in the inter-membrane space via NADH and these feed into the electron transport chain to power ATP synthase to generate ATP.
