Solution:

The energy released during the electron system is utilized in synthesizing ATP with the help of ATP synthase enzyme (complex V). This complex consists of two major components: $F_{1}$ and F0. For each ATP produced, 2H+ pass through $F_{0}$ from the intermembrane space to the matrix down the electrochemical proton gradient.
