Document Summary

Nadh and fadh2 transfers electrons to the etc. 3 transmembrane enzyme complexes harvest some energy from electrons and pass lower energy electrons onward. Complexes uses energy harvested from electrons to pump protons (h+) from matrix to intermembrane space. Chemical formation of atp is driven by a diffusion force- chemiosmosis. Protons move across membrane down their concentration gradient. Energy released causes the motor and stalk structures to rotate. This mechanical energy alters the conformation of the atp synthase enzyme to catalyze the formation of atp. Yield of atp harvested from glucose by aerobic respiration totals 32 molecules. Eukaryotes this is reduced to 30 because it takes 1 atp to transport each molecule of nadh that is generated by glycolysis. Relative levels of adp and atp and key intermediates nadh and citrate control the catabolic pathway at 2 key points: Atp and citrate inhibit a step to glycolysis. Respiration can be activated by high adp levels.
