Translated version

Electron transport chain

The third and main stage of aerobic respiration, occurring on the inner mitochondrial membrane. During this process, electrons carried by NADH and FADH2 travel through protein complexes, and the released energy is used for ATP synthesis. At the end of the process, oxygen accepts the electrons.

Original version

Elektronų pernašos grandinė

Trečiasis ir pagrindinis aerobinio kvėpavimo etapas, vykstantis ant vidinės mitochondrijų membranos. Jo metu elektronai, pernešami NADH ir FADH₂, keliauja per baltymų kompleksus, o atpalaiduota energija naudojama ATP sintezei. Proceso pabaigoje elektronus prisijungia deguonis.
