Video - Electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation

The electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation are two biochemical processes that occur in the mitochondria of cells. The electron transport chain is a series of proteins that transfer electrons from donors to acceptors, and oxidative phosphorylation is the process by which the energy released by these electrons is used to generate ATP, which is the cellular currency of energy. The electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation are important for generating energy in all cells, but they are especially important in muscle cells, because muscles use a lot of energy.
