Mitochondrial H Atp Matrix Inter Membrane Space Energy Membrane

Front How is ATP synthesised in oxidative phosphorylation?
Back - electrons pass along electron carriers through oxidation-reduction reactions

- energy from e- used to actively transport H+ from mitochondrial matrix into inter-membrane space
- across inner mitochondrial membrane

- high H concentration in inter-membrane space
- low H concentration in mitochondrial matrix

- H+ diffuses through ATP synthase channels from inter-membrane space into mitochondrial matrix
- across inner mitochondrial membrane
- by facilitated diffusion

- energy used for ADP + Pi --> ATP
