FIGURE 1: Movement of Protons (H+) Across Inner Mitochondrial Membrane | |||
1.The electron transport chain pumps protons (H+) into the inter membrane space. | |||
2.Protons (H+) in the matrix bond with oxygen (O2) to form water (H2O) in a reduction reaction. | |||
3.Protons (H+) from the inter membrane space are used by ATP synthase, to provide energy for the conversion | |||
of ADP to ATP. | |||
