Study Notes

Electron Transport Chain (ETC) Location

The Electron Transport Chain (ETC) takes place in the mitochondrial inner membrane.

Driving Force of ATP Synthase

The primary driving force used to power ATP synthase in the Electron Transport Chain is the proton gradient.

Function of ATP Synthase

The function of ATP synthase in the Electron Transport Chain is to generate ATP from ADP and Pi.

ATP Production by NADH and FADH2

NADH produces 2.5-3 ATP in the Electron Transport Chain.
FADH2 produces 1.5-2 ATP in the Electron Transport Chain, 1 less than NADH, due to the difference in the energy released during the electron transport process.
