The Electron Transport Chain uses carrier proteins to move electrons, utilizing redox reactions to create a proton gradient across the cristae, which powers chemiosmosis.
Electron Transport Chain: Carrier proteins transport electrons in (NADH FADH2) (Cytochromes) - Uses resulting redox reactions to pump protons across cristae to create a gradient - the potential energy then powers chemiosmosis/oxidative phosphorylation
