Converting one form of energy or potential energy into another.

I use taking foreign currency (NADH and FADH2) and trying to buy a coffee in the US with it.

It is still money but no matter how hard you try Starbucks (mussels) will not except it you must first convert it into US currency before you can use it at Starbucks. This conversion is the Electron Transport Chain it is taking and exchanging NADH for ATP or H+ Depending on how detailed you get. (Pesos for Dollars).

The electron transport chain has five complexes, three of which pump protons out of the matrix and one (ATP synthase) that pumps it back in; it uses coenzymes, heme groups, and cytochromes. Electrons from NADH from the Kreb's cycle is pumped out from complex one, however cytosolic NADH from glycolysis and FADH produced from the Kreb's cycle enter from complex two (which doesn't pump a proton).

There are several things that happen in the electron transport chain. The electrons will form succinate and NADH which use the transport chain to get to oxygen.
