Two different processes here.
Oxidative
phosphorylation.
This is where highly electronegative
oxygen pulls electrons from the ETC
, put them together with hydrogen ions and makes water.
Chemiosmosis. Where the hydrogen ions that were pumped into the outer membrane of the mitochondria fall back down their concentration gradient through the ATP synthase and make ATP.
Oxygen plays a crucial role in the electron transport chain by serving as the final electron acceptor. This allows for the production of ATP, the cell's main energy source, through a process called oxidative phosphorylation.
The generation of ATP by the electron transport chain coupled with the pumping of H+ ions across the inner mitochondrial membrane is referred to as oxidative phosphorylation. This process produces ATP by utilizing the energy generated from the electron transport chain to power the phosphorylation of ADP to ATP using the electrochemical gradient of H+ ions.
Oxidation in chemistry is when an electron is stripped from an atom or molecule. In this case, an electron is stripped from the phosphate group in ATP so it can be used for energy, hence oxidative phosphorylation. The electron then moves through several processes that generate energy the cell can use. That's why it is most commonly referred to as the electron transport chain.
This process is called the electron transport chain. The molecules involved are typically cytochromes and other protein complexes, such as Complexes I, II, III, IV in mitochondria and the cytochrome b6f complex in chloroplasts. As electrons pass through the chain, they help pump protons across the membrane creating an electrochemical gradient that is used to produce ATP through ATP synthase.
This process is known as the electron transport chain. It is a series of protein complexes and molecules located in the inner mitochondrial membrane that transfer electrons and generate ATP during cellular respiration.

Aerobes use oxygen as the final electron acceptor in electron transport phosphorylation. The process that yields a final product called lactate fermentation.

Plants, fungi, and animals are all eukaryotes and possess mitochondria, which is the site of the electron transport chain. Prokaryotes have no mitochondria and perform the electron transport chain across their cell membranes. Electron transport chain also occurs in thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts.

ATP is generated through the transfer of electrons in the process of oxidative phosphorylation. This process occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane, where electrons are transferred along the electron transport chain, driving the pumping of protons across the membrane. The resulting proton gradient is then used by ATP synthase to convert ADP and inorganic phosphate into ATP through a process called chemiosmosis.
The process in which a cell takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide is called cellular respiration. During this process, cells break down glucose to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water. Oxygen is needed as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain to generate ATP.
Electron Transport SystemThe electron transport chain
The complex in the electron transport chain that transfers electrons to the final electron acceptor is called Complex IV, also known as cytochrome c oxidase.
