1. reduced coenzyme caries h(ions) and electrons to the electron transport chain on the inner mitochondrial membrane
2. electrons pass from one carrier to the next in a series of oxidation and reduction (redox reactions)
3. protons(h ions) move across the inner mitochondrion membrane creating a high proton concetration in the intermembrane space
4. protons diffuse back into the mitochondrial matrix down the electrochemical gradient through the stalked particles
5. this movement allows ATpase to catalyse ATP sysnthesis
6. electrons and protons recombine to form hydrogen which combine with oxygen to form water.
