What Does ETS Stand For?

ETS stands for Electron Transport System

The Electron Transport System (ETS) is a series of complexes and electron carriers located in the inner mitochondrial membrane that play a crucial role in cellular respiration. It facilitates the transfer of electrons derived from metabolic substrates to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through oxidative phosphorylation. The ETS operates in conjunction with the Krebs cycle and is essential for energy production in aerobic organisms, ultimately contributing to the conversion of biochemical energy into a usable form for cellular processes.
