If my memory suits me the electron transport system is part of the aerobic system in which electrons are juggled around and create a very small amount of energy, but very very sustainable for extended periods. I hope I didn't screw anything up with that. I am very tired and hope it is coherent.

I have a working knowledge of the krebs cycle in general, but don't wanty to give too much wrong info. I will check my text books.

It's been to many years since I took Exercise Science Courses! I should remember all of this! Racked my brain! If you don't use it you lose it! But hope this helps!

If it's any consolation, I don't know that a good layman's explanation exists. Whole text books exist trying to do just that. However, if you have time, go to a medical library and look at a small book called physiology made ridiculously simple. It has a nice and simple explanation. You can order it also and it has memorization tricks to help with tests.
