The Electrochemical Proton Gradient: Key to Energy Coupling

Question 1

what is the electrochemical proton gradient?

Answer 1

the directional pumping of protons across the membrane in which electron transport is occurring

Question 2

Define respiratory control.

Answer 2

regulation of oxidative phosphorylation and electron transport by the availability of ADP

Question 3

What is the chemiosmotic coupling model?

Answer 3

Peter Mitchell proposed this

the link between electron transport and ATP formation is the electrochemical potential across a membrane
