Document Summary

Oxygen concentration as a function of time. 2-4 seconds; atp added: \ (gradual decline) Measuring the rate of oxygen consumption is a way of measuring the rate of cellular respiration. In the system, there is a hole in the top where you can use syringe to feed in molecules. 4-6 seconds; nadh is added): rate of decline increases. The rate of electron transport: the concentration gradient keeps it from going any faster. Without adp to consume the proton, the gradient becomes very low; harder to pump it into a space that already has a lot of protons. The rate of electron transport is controlled by the availability of adp. Rate is high if lots of adp around, rate is low if not much adp available. The rate won"t be as steep; it inhibits atp synthesis. No pressure on the proton gradient, you don"t establish one at all. Every proton that moves across diffuses right back.
