First, the electron transport chain transfer the electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors using both reduction and oxidation reactions.

Next, the energy released in these reactions is captured as an electrochemical proton gradient that triggers the synthesis of ATP synthase and produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from ADP and phosphate group in the process called chemiosmosis.

Lastly, ATP stores energy chemically in the form of highly strained bonds and together, the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis makes up the oxidative phosphorylation which is found in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
