Summary Introduction

To explain: Chemiosmosis and the way by which a gradient of protons is established across the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Concept introduction: Aerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration in which oxygen is consumed as a reactant to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP). It is the most efficient mode of respiration in most of the eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. It involves complete combustion or degradation of sugars or organic fuels and produces CO2, water, and ATP. Chemiosmosis is one of the four stages of the aerobic respiration.

Explain how a gradient of protons is established across the inner mitochondrial      membrane during chemiosmosis
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.
Describe the molecular mechanisms of mitochondrial ATP synthesis.
