Study Notes
- Mitochondria have highly folded membranes with a large surface area.
- The electron transport chain is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
- The electron transport chain pumps hydrogen ions across the membrane, creating a concentration gradient.
- The concentration gradient stores potential energy, similar to water behind a dam.
- ATP synthase is a miniature machine that generates ATP using the energy from the concentration gradient.
- Cyanide blocks the passage of electrons to oxygen, preventing ATP production.
- The electron transport chain is made up of protein complexes and electron carriers.
- NADH and FADH2 transfer electrons to the electron transport chain.
- Oxygen pulls electrons down the transport chain.
- ATP synthase attaches phosphate groups to ADP molecules to generate ATP.
