There is no electron transport chain in glycolysis as the chain is in the inner lumen of the mitochondria and glycolysis takes place in the cytosol. I suggest you get your question straightened out and resubmit it.

Electron carriers do go from the glycolyitic process to the electron transport chain, FADH and NAD both pick up electrons ( they are reduced ) from the oxidation of glucose. Not very many though, as they get most of the electrons in the Krebs cycle. Is this what you meant?
