Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Electron Transport Chain takes place in the:
A
Cytoplasm
B
Mitochondrion
C
Ribosome
D
Intermembrane Space
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The electron transport chain is a series of four protein complexes that couple redox reactions, creating an electrochemical gradient that leads to the creation of ATP in a complete system named oxidative phosphorylation. It occurs in mitochondria in both cellular respiration and photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Electron transport chain (ETC) occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane, where the OXPHOS takes place through the action of ATP synthase, [37].

Detailed explanation-3: -The electron transport chain in the mitochondrion is the site of oxidative phosphorylation in eukaryotes. It mediates the reaction between NADH or succinate generated in the citric acid cycle and oxygen to power ATP synthase.
