Energy is released during the oxidative phosphorylation process, which produces ATP, when electrons are transferred to a sequence of electron acceptors before landing on oxygen or another inorganic substance.
An electrochemical gradient is created in the electron transport system by the movement of electrons from one molecule to the other, which releases energy. During chemiosmosis, ATP is produced using the stored energy in the gradient. Electrons from NADH and FADH2 mix with O2 during oxidative phosphorylation, and the energy generated from these oxidation/reduction events is utilized to power the production of ATP from ADP. From glucose and oxygen, aerobic respiration creates ATP, as well as carbon dioxide and water. H+ is created when the electrons are liberated from the electron - accepting molecules. The possible energy gradient that is produced by the voltage is traversed by the electrons as they go through the circuit.
