Summary Introduction

To review:

An increase in the proton concentration of the suspension of submitochondrial particles will lead to adenosine triphosphate(ATP) synthesis.

An electron transport chain is a series of reactions where electrons aretransferred from electron donors to electron acceptors. This reaction requires the protons being transferred across the inner membrane of mitochondria. This causes a gradient of a proton whichhelps in the synthesis of the ATP molecule.
