Understanding: • Transfer of electrons between carriers in the electron transport chain in the membrane of the cristae is coupled to proton pumping
Step 1: Generating a Proton Motive Force
Understanding: • In chemiosmosis protons diffuse through ATP synthase to generate ATP
Step Two: ATP Synthesis via Chemiosmosis
Understanding: • Oxygen is needed to bind with the free protons to maintain the hydrogen gradient, resulting in the formation of water
Step Three: Reduction of Oxygen
Summary: Oxidative Phosphorylation
