Detailed explanation-1: -The electron transport chain is a series of proteins embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. In the matrix, NADH and FADH2 deposit their electrons in the chain (at the first and second complexes of the chain, respectively).
Detailed explanation-2: -Oxidative phosphorylation is the process where energy is harnessed through a series of protein complexes embedded in the inner-membrane of mitochondria (called the electron transport chain and ATP synthase) to create ATP.
Detailed explanation-3: -The inner mitochondrial membrane contains many copies of a protein called the F0F1ATPase. This is also called ATP synthase. It consists of two parts: the F0 component spans the membrane and provides a channel for protons to move into the matrix from the intermembrane space.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the mitochondria’s inner membrane oxidative phosphorylation takes place. The intermembrane gap and the mitochondrial matrix are where the proton gradient is produced.
