Electrons bound by NADH from glycolysis, the CAC, and the Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex are transferred to the Electron Transport Complex (Complex 1, Complex 2, Complex 3 and Complex 4) a series of 4 protein complexes. What is the order the electrons will travel from protein complex to protein complex?
Electron transport chain which takes place during cellular respiration occurs in inner mitochondrial membrane.
The electrons are transferred from one electron carrier to the other and all the electron carriers are arranged in increasing order of their electrode potential.
As the electrode potential increases, the affinity for electrons also increases for a given electron carrier.
You can see the order of different electron carriers in the diagram given below.
