Complex II:  (3) Electron transfer from succinate to ubiquinone (coenzyme Q) (5) Succinate-coenzyme Q Oxidoreductase (succinate dehydrogenase)

Complex III:  (2) Coenzyme Q-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, (7) Electron transfer from ubiquinol (QH2) to cytochrome c

Complex IV: (4) Electron transfer from cytochrome c to O2, (6) Cytochrome c oxidase

Explanation:

The electron transport chain (ETC) in the mitochondria provides a pathway by which electrons are transferred from NADH and FADH₂ through a series of membrane-bound carriers to  molecular oxygen reducing it to water.

The electron transport chain electron carriers are organized into four complexes, Complexes I - IV.

Complex I : It is also called NADH:ubiquinone reductase. It transfers electrons from NADH to ubiquinone (also known as coenzyme Q)

Complex II : It is also called succinate dehydrogenase. It functions to tranfer electrons from succinate to FAD and then to ubiquinone.

Complex III : It is also called ubiquinone:cytochrome c oxidoreductase. It functions to transfer electrons from ubiquinol (reduced ubiquinone) to cytochrome c.

Complex IV : It is also called cytochrome oxidase. It functions to transfer electrons from cytochrome c to molecular oxygen reducing it to water.

The electron transporter chain is a series of enzymatic reactions to produce and store energy for the organism’s correct functioning. Complex I: 1 and 8. Complex II: 3 and 5. Complex III: 2 and 7. Complex IV: 4 and 6.

Electron transporter chain

The electron transporter chain is located in the internal mitochondrial membrane. It constitutes a series of enzymatic reactions to release and save energy for the organism’s correct functioning.  

Along the chain, there are four proteinic complexes in the membrane, I, II, III, and IV, that contain the electrons transporters and the enzymes necessary to catalyze the electrons' transference from one complex to the other.  

Different redox reactions occur to pass electrons along the chain.  

Released energy creates a proton concentration gradient used to synthesize ATP.  

1)  NADH provides electrons to the first complex, Complex I (NADH-  

   ubiquinone or NADH-coenzyme Q oxidoreductase).

From there, electrons go to the coenzyme Q (Ubiquinone) that carries them to complex II and III. Meanwhile, complex I pomp four protons to the intermembrane space.  

2) Complex II (succinate-dehydrogenase) receives electrons from CoQ and also receives electrons from FADH2. Electrons are sent from complex II to ubiquinone Q that carries these electrons to complex III.

3) Complex III (Cytochrome C-reductase) receives electrons from ubiquinone Q and pomps protons to the intermembrane space.

Electrons are transferred to Cytochrome c.  

Electrons travel from cytochrome c to complex IV.

4) Complex IV (Cytochrome C-oxidase)  is the last complex that pomps protons to the intermembrane space. It takes electrons from cytochrome C and sends them to oxygen.

5) Electrons are sent to O₂ molecules, which also receive protons in the matrix to create water molecules.

Four electrons are needed to produce two water molecules from one O₂ molecule.  

The proton gradient is used to produce ATP molecules.

Now, we can join the complexes with the phrases.

Complex I:

1) NADH-ubiquinone (NADH-coenzyme Q oxidoreductase)

8) Electron transfer from NADH to ubiquinone (coenzyme Q)

Complex II:

3) Electron transfer from succinate to ubiquinone (coenzyme Q)

5) Succinate-coenzyme Q Oxidoreductase (succinate dehydrogenase)

Complex III:

2) Coenzyme Q - cytochrome c oxidoreductase

7) Electron transfer from ubiquinol (QH₂) to cytochrom c

Complex IV:

6) Cytochrome C oxidase

4) Electron transfer from cytochrome c to O₂
