| Front | Describe the steps of oxidative phosphorylation |
|---|---|
| Back | Hydrogen produced during glycolysis and krebs cycle combine with NAD and FAD Reduced NAD and FAD donate electrons to first molecule of electron transfer chain Electrons pass along chain of electron transfer carrier molecules in a series of oxidation-reduction reactions. Energy from the electrons being transported causes active transport of electrons across the inner-mitochondrial membrane into the intermembrane space Protons accumulate in intermembrane space and diffuse into mitochondrial matrix through ATP synthase channel which leads to the formation of ATP Electrons combine with hydrogens and oxygen to form water. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor |
