Electron+Transport+Chain

The electron transport chain(ETC) is basically a series of redox reactions. The end goal of the ETC is to create ATP. ATP is basically energy, and it powers the reactions happening within the cell. During ETC electrons get transported to acceptor molecules by using the energy from Gibbs Free Energy(GFE). By using GFE the ETC can be used to create ATP's, which is very important since most of the ATP's actually come from the ETC. GFE is the energy that can be used for free. This basically means that you do not have to work for your energy. ETC occurs in mitochondria and even in bacteria.
