Q

Give the most basic summary of what happens in proton pumping for ATP production (2)

21
Q

This is the process that happens during oxydative phosphorylation where electron carriers like NADH and FADH donate electrons to the electron transport chain. The electrons cause conformation changes in the shapes of the proteins to pump H+ across a selectively permeable cell membrane. The uneven distribution of H+ ions across the membrane establishes both concentration and electrical gradients (thus, an electrochemical gradient) owing to the hydrogen ions’ positive charge and their aggregation on one side of the membrane.

A

Chemiosmosis

22
Q

Give the most basic summary of what happens in ATP synthesis after proton pumping (2)

A

-Because of the proton gradient, protons flows back across the membrane though enzyme ATP synthase
=Phosphorylation of ADP ~> ATP

23
Q

Give the most basic summary of what happens in ATP release (2)

A

-New ATP goes in the mitochondrial matrix
~>cytosol

24
