Document Summary

Sugars and fats are broken down by the cell through glycolysis and beta oxidation. Conversion of acetyl-coa to high-energy electrons through the citric acid cycle. Electrons drive proton pumps in the etc. Couples atp production from etc to oxygen reduction. The pumping of protons across the im in the mitochondria couples the generation of atp to the reduction of oxygen by the etc. As the energy of the proton gradient is used directly to phosphorylate adp to atp, this coupled process is called oxidative phosphorylation. Energy is coupled by protein conformational changes. As the complex accepts a high energy electron, it binds a proton on the matrix side of the membrane. While the pump is reduced, the proton is held in place by extra negative charge. As the electron jumps to the next centre, the proton is released but the reduction of the downstream component keeps the matrix side closed.
