Document Summary

This is how we"ve seen so far on how atp is created. Oxidative phosphorylation is when the electrons from nadh and fadh2 pass through the electron transport chain and produce an electrochemical gradient which results in the pumping of the electrons across the inner membrane of the mitochondria. This gradient when it passes through the atp synthase allows for the production of. This is how much nadh and fadh2 had been created through glycolysis, pdh complex and the citric acid cycle. The mitochondria has an outer (yellow) and inner (blue) membrane. The inner membrane has all of the cristae, which are tightly wrapped, inside the matrix. The space between the inner and outer is referred to as the intermembrane space. One of the functions of the cristae is that they increase the surface area of the inner membrane. This is important because the inner membrane is studded with complexes involved in electron transport as well as molecules of atp synthase.
