The electron transport chain is the final stage of aerobic respiration leading to the forming of ATP in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. The emergent picture is that of coupled reactions through five protein structures associated with that inner membrane.
Aerobic or anaerobic? In aerobic respiration, the terminal electron acceptor is oxygen. Anaerobes have a lot of terminal electron acceptors, depending on the organism. Back when life first got started, iron was probably the most common, and some anerobes still use iron as the terminal electron acceptor.
