Basically, to provide the motive force so that protons can be pumped into the outer lumen of the mitochondria. There they will fall down their concentration gradient through the ATP-synthase, thus generating ATP.

How many electrons can a NADH molecule carry?
The electron transport chain is also known as the respiratory chain. NADH carries electrons in the form of hydrogen atoms to the electron transport chain.
Where does the electron transport chain get high energy electrons that are passed down the chains?
High-energy electrons from NADH and FADH2 are passed along the electron transport chain
Do the energized electrons at the primary electron acceptor flow to the reaction center?
No, the electrons flow from the reaction center to the primary electron center. Just the opposite of what you said.
The electron transport chain receives electrons directly from?
NADH
Where does the electron transport chain get the high-energy electrons that are passed down the chain?
The high-energy electrons that are passed to the electron transport chain combine with O2 and H+ ions. This results to the formation of water molecules.
Series of electron acceptors in the thylakoid membrane that removes energy from excited electrons to produce ATP?
Electron transport chain.
Transport chain series of proteins embedded in a membrane along which energized electrons are transported as electrons are passed from molecule energy is released?
Transport chain series of proteins embedded in a membrane along which energized electrons are transported as electrons are passed from molecule energy is released?
High-energy electrons from NADH and FADH2 are passed into and along the?

The electron transport chain is also known as the respiratory chain. NADH carries electrons in the form of hydrogen atoms to the electron transport chain.
What does the electron transport chain use the high energy electrons for the Krebs cycle for?
The electrons are passed down the electron transport chain for use in ATP production.
What uses energy from the high-energy electrons to transport hydrogen across the thylakoid membrane?
Electron transport chain
Where does the electron transport chain get high energy electrons that are passed down the chains?
High-energy electrons from NADH and FADH2 are passed along the electron transport chain
Do the energized electrons at the primary electron acceptor flow to the reaction center?
No, the electrons flow from the reaction center to the primary electron center. Just the opposite of what you said.
Energized electrons at the primary electron acceptor flow to where?
an electron transport chain.
What is passed from protein to protein in the electron transport chain?
Energy is transferred to the chain of proteins in the electron transport. A electron transport chain is a series of compounds that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors through redox reactions.
The electron transport chain receives electrons directly from?
NADH
Where do the electrons go after they finish the electron transport chain?
Photosystem I
