10.4 Oxidative Phosphorylation Flashcards
Electrochemical gradient ETC creates
Proton-motive force, generated by ETC across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
The intermembrane space has a higher concentration of
protons than the matrix; this gradient stores energy, which can be used to form ATP via chemiosmotic coupling.
ATP Synthase
Enzyme, generates ATP from
ADP and an inorganic phosphate (Pi).
What is F0 portion?
An ion channel, allowing protons to flow down
the gradient from the intermembrane space to the matrix.
What is F1 portion?
Uses the energy released by the gradient to
phosphorylate ADP into ATP.
