Thaddeus Kennedy · Answer 1

In the electron transport chain, when the protons move down their concentration gradient, the electrons are transferred from one molecule to the other and energy is released.

Explanation:

During the rear stage of cell respiration or oxidative phosphorylation two processes are involved. Among which one is the electron transport proton gradient chain, in which protons are transferred from one to the other molecule.

In this process electron also releases energy to make an electrochemical gradient. In this chain oxygen accepts protons and chooses electron to produce water.
