The correct function of the high-energy electrons in the electron transport chain is:

They make ATP from ADP.

In the electron transport chain, high-energy electrons are transferred through a series of protein complexes, leading to the pumping of protons (H+) across the mitochondrial membrane. This creates a proton gradient, which drives ATP synthase to produce ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi).
