This process is called oxidative phosphorylation ATP ack into NAD+ and FAD an now pick up new Hydrogen molecules he TCA and ETC e) notes: The high-energy electrons fall to successively lower energy levels as they are transferred from carrier to carrier through the ETC As electrons move through the electron transport system, they release free energy. Part of the released energy is harnessed to transport H+ from matrix into the intermembrane space at Complexes I, II, III, and IV As a result, H+ ions are more heavily concentrated in the intermembrane space than in the matrix. This H+ gradient supplies the energy that drives ATP synthesis by ATP synthase ure description: ○ The green blobs are called complexes bc it's made up of multiple proteins ○ NADH and FADH2 give their H to complex 1 and 2 ○ The H molecules come into the intermembrane space and travel against their will into the ATP synthase and results in ATP
