It adds ADP and inorganic phosphate to form ATP.

ATP Synthase
Hydrogen ions flow back down their gradient through a channel in an ATP synthase. The ATP synthase harnesses the proton-motive force to phosphorylate ADP, forming ATP.Read more: How_does_chemiosmosis_produce_ATP
Hydrogen ions move from the outer to the inner compartment of the mitochondria through the enzyme ATP synthase, which is embedded in the inner membrane. This movement of hydrogen ions creates an electrochemical gradient that drives ATP production.

H plus ions move through channels of the ATP synthase in the inner membrane. It is a type of enzyme that allows protons to move through the mitochondrial membrane.

Inside the intermembrane space, there is a buildup of hydrogen ions from the ETC. The hydrogen ions go down the concentration gradient through ATP synthase, producing ATP.
ATP synthase is the protein complex that allows hydrogen ions to flow out of the thylakoid membrane during photosynthesis. This flow of hydrogen ions creates a proton gradient that drives the production of ATP, which is a molecule that stores energy for the cell to use.
The proton gradient produced by the electron transport chain powers ATP production. This process is called chemiosmosis, in which H+ ions from the thylakoid space (in mitochondria they are in the intermembrane space) pass through ATP synthase to areas of lower concentration (in chloroplasts, the stroma, and in mitochondria, the mitochondrial matrix). As they pass through ATP synthase, the catalytic knob of the ATP synthase is turned. The turning of this knob (which is powered by diffusion of H+ ions) powers the anabolic production of ATP.
