Explanation:

In cellular respiration, the electron carriers (such as NADH and FADH2) produced by glycolysis and the citric - acid cycle deliver their electrons to the electron - transport chain, which uses the energy from these electrons to generate ATP. The cytosol is the fluid part of the cytoplasm where glycolysis occurs but not the destination for these electrons. The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein and lipid synthesis and other functions, not electron - transfer in respiration. The cell membrane is mainly for cell protection and transport regulation, not related to this electron - delivery process.

Answer:

electron transport chain
