Summary Introduction

To draw: A simple sketch that illustrates an inner mitochondrial membrane that is actively involved in chemiosmosis. Then, label the two compartments it separates, ATP synthase complex, the proton gradient, and the compartment in which ATP is synthesized.

Concept introduction: The process in which the ions are moved by diffusion across a semi-permeable membrane to synthesize ATP is known as chemiosmosis. This process takes place inside the mitochondria during the aerobic cellular respiration. During the course of chemiosmosis, the ions move down an electrochemical gradient (gradient of the electrochemical potential) by ATP synthase. The ATP synthase utilizes the proton-motive force to phosphorylate adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and forms ATP.

Draw a simple sketch illustrating an inner mitochondrial membrane that is actively involved in chemiosmosis and label the two compartments it separates. Add the ATP synthase complex, indicate the proton gradient, and specify in which compartment ATP is synthesized.
create a concept map for this. Include all terms. Oxidative Phosphorylation (ETC) Inner Mitochondrial Membrane, Membrane Proteins, High Energy Electrons, NADH, NAD+, FADH, FAD+, ADP, ATP, O2, H2O, ATP Synthase, Proton Gradient Use all terms listed. Make as many connections as you can. Be sure your maps are clear.
Draw a diagram depicting the processes of electron transport and chemiosmosis in the mitochondrion. Label inner membrane, intermembrane space, matrix, electron transport complexes I through IV, and ATP synthase. Use arrows to show the movement of H + ions into and out of the intermembrane space. Show where electrons from both NADH and FADH2 are introduced into the electron transport chain, the reduction of free oxygen to form water, and the synthesis of ATP
