Produces carbon dioxide

It is produced by glycolysis.

It directly makes ATP.

It is only found in plant cells.

It carries electrons.

NADH and FADH₂ attach phosphate groups to ADP using electrons to bond them.

The transfer of electrons creates an electrical and chemical gradient, and then the protons move back through ATP synthase, which adds a phosphate group to ADP.

Different proteins in the membrane of the mitochondria combine electrons and protons to make ATP.

ATP is not made by the electron transport chain.
