|
Cellular Respiration |
A series of oxidation-reduction reactions (reduced compounds are high energy, oxidized compounds are high energy) (occurs in small steps because it is more efficient that way) |
|
|
Electron Transport and ATP Synthesis |
1) Electron carriers transfer their high energy electrons to the electron transport chain 2) Energy is used to pump H+ across the inner membrane 3) This creates an electrochemical gradient - a form of potential energy |
|
|
Electron Transport and ATP Synthesis |
1) ATP Synthase contains a H+ channel 2) As H+ moves through the channel, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy 3) The kinetic energy is coupled to ATP synthesis |
