What's the main energy transfer during respiration?


ATP is formed due to transfer of electrons through respiratory chain located in the inner membrane of mitochondria. Actually, electrochemical gradient is formed in the intramembrane space simultaneously with electron transfer. And proton-motive force is subsequently is used to drive the synthesis of ATP. So, in human respiration the chemical energy is converted to heat and electric energy.
