30 views5 pages

Document Summary

High energy electrons harvested from nadh + fadh2 from tca are used to yield atp as a result of reducing o2. Permeable to ions > allows things in. Inner membrane folds in on isteld to increase the surface area (oxidative phosphorylation) High energy electrons from tca are used to reduce molecular oxygen while the etc pumps protons out of the mitochondrial matrix thus generating a charge differential. Protons ow back into the mitochondria via atp synthesis and this energy is harnessed to drive atp synthesis. X- and x are a redox couple (nad+ and nadh) We split this into half reactions: x- < > x + e, h+ + e- < > 1/2h2. The reduction potential of the reference cell is taken as zero (no reduction potential) > this creates the voltage difference. In this scenario, voltage measure as negative, the sample electrode is negative w. r. t the reference.
