Stage 3: Mass production of energy by the electron transport chain

At last we've made it                                           I'm the
                                                              greatest!
 to the third stage:
      The electron     Wboluoet!anLsoats!tt

  transport chain!

   The electron
transport chain...

         consists of several protein
   complexes that are embedded like
    islands within the inner membrane

                    of mitochondria.
