In oxidative phosphorylation, electrons pass along carriers, releasing energy used to pump H+ into the intermembrane space, creating a gradient; H+ then diffuses through ATP synthase to produce ATP.
Nella fosforilazione ossidativa, gli elettroni passano attraverso i trasportatori, rilasciando energia utilizzata per pompare H+ nello spazio intermembrana, creando un gradiente; gli H+ diffondono poi attraverso l'ATP sintasi per produrre ATP.

|---|---|
| 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 |
