Document Summary

Oxidative phosphorylation produces large quantities of atp/second, powering all chem reactions & mechanical movements of living systems. The organelle that produces atp & determines life or death of cells. Each mitochondrion has 2 membranes - outer & inner. The inner membrane has inward folds - cristae. The space inside is called the matrix. The space between the inner & outer membranes is the intermembrane space. Oxidative phosphorylation is a chemical process by which chemicals are oxidized and the results of the oxidation cause another molecule to gain a phosphate group. Put another way, oxidative phosphorylation is the oxidation of food resulting in production of atp. Glycosis ends with pyruvate acid which is metabolized into acetyl-coa, the beginning of the citric acid cycle. Produces hydrogen ions and electrons for the electron transport system. Acetyl-coa is the most important in regards of making food into energy. The transition molecule from glycolysis to the citric acid cycle.
