Document Summary

Lomoar cpsd| 987298: process that uses energy stored in hydrogen ion gradient across a membrane to drive atp synthesis, h+ concentration gradient stores potential energy, atp synthase is considered the smallest known rotary motor. Energy of the concentration gradient of h+ across the membrane drives hydrogen ions through a channel in atp synthase. Rush of h+ through the channel spins a component of the complex. Activating catalytic sites that attach phosphate groups to adp to generate atp. Review: each molecule of glucose yields many molecules of atp. Citric acid cycle occurs in mitochondrial matrix . Steps 1 & 2 contribute a net total of 4 atp per glucose molecule. Cell fosters more energy from nadh and fadh2 produced in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle . Energy of the electrons they contain is used to make 28 molecules of atp by oxidative phosphorylation. Total yield of atp per glucose is about 32 .
