The ultimate product of the electron transport chain (ETC) is ATP. The ETC is responsible for generating ATP through oxidative phosphorylation, using the energy released from electrons transferred through the chain to pump protons across the mitochondrial membrane, creating a proton gradient that drives ATP synthase to produce ATP.
