Ubiquinone (coenzyme Q)
to NADH dehydrogenase. NADH+H is oxidized to NAD+. At one point, hydrogen atoms split to form proton and electrons.
Ubiquinone (CoQ) then passes the electrons to cytochrome bc1 complex (reductase).
FADH2
FAD
The electron is then carried by cytochrome c , to the cytochrome oxidase complex. Cytochrome oxidase passed electron to Oxygen.
FADH2 is formed in the Krebs Cycle in the oxidation of succinate to fumarate. Transfer the electrons to CoQ, Cyt bc1, Cyt c & Cyt oxidase.

NADH dehydrogenase
Cytochrome oxidase
Each complex in the chain operates as a proton pump, driving a proton out across the membrane into the intermembrane space.
The protons diffuse back into the mitochondrial matrix through a ATP synthase, which couples this diffusion to the synthesis of ATP.
Oxygen as a final electron acceptor. Cytochrome oxidase passes electron to oxygen. Each oxygen then combines with two protons to form O2 + 2 e- + 2 H+ H2O water
