Document Summary

Oxidative phosphorylation is the main process of energy generation in the cell: most of the oxygen we take in is consumed in oxidative phosphorylation. Energy is produced in from of atp. Glycolysis produces 2 atp, none in cac, but now we get about a 15 times increase. Stages of membrane based atp production: energy from oxidation of food are transferred in a series of electron carriers called electron-transport chain. 0. First step, etc, you get protons pumped out: flow of proton down their electrochemical gradient facilitated by atp synthase, provides energy for production of atp from adp. Second step, electrons are flowing back in. You need that flow and the gradient for protons to go out and in. In eukaryotes, this happens between the matrix and the intermembrane space, because it happens at the inner membrane. This process is highly preserved through evolution. Mitochondria and chloroplast evolved from bacteria and carry out this process in eukaryotes: mitochondria divide!
