Oxidative phosphorylation generates ATP using the reducing power of [NADH, FADH2 or malate]  to move electrons down a series of carriers to ultimately produce a [phosphate gradient or protons gradient]  across the inner mitochondrial membrane, which is used by ATP synthase to make ATP.  ATP synthase harnesses the energy stored in both [charge and concentration gradients or electostatic and van der waals interations]  to achieve high energy phosphate bond synthesis.  If the ion gradient across the inner membrane is dissipated by the expression of UCP1, ATP is not synthesized and [heat is generated or electron transport is blocked].  The final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain is [oxygen or carbon dioxide]  with water as a product.
