Define oxidative phosphorylation.
Describe the compartments of the mitochondria and where the electron transport chain
proteins are.
Relate the concepts of reduction potential and free energy (be able to calculate ÎE°â and ÎG°â
using ÎE°â) and how this is coupled to transport of H+ out of the matrix.
