The end products of electron transport chain are:
Water
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
Step-by-step explanation:
- Most of the free energy released during the oxidation of glucose to CO₂ is retained in the reduced co-enzyme NADH and FADH₂, generated during the kreb's cycle.
- Electron are released from these co-enzymes and are eventually transferred to an oxygen molecule to form water.
- These transfer of electron from co-enzymes to oxygen molecule occurs through a series of protein complexes in the mitochondrial membrane. And the process is termed as Electron Transport Chain.
- The large amount of free energy is released during the oxidation of NADH and FADH₂ is used in the production of ATP
