Solution

The statement that is NOT correct about the electron transport chain in mitochondria is:

A) Electrons increase their free energy at each step along the transport chain

In reality, electrons decrease their free energy as they move along the electron transport chain. This is because they are moving from a higher energy state to a lower energy state, which is what allows for the production of ATP.
