The generation of ATP by ATP synthase is a massively endergonic reaction, drive by the concentration gradient of H+ ions across the inner membrane of the mitochondria, generated by the electron transport chain. The energy to pump H+ in the the inter-membrane space is a result of __________ of __________ of the electrons transferred on every step of the chain. Decreases; Free energy Increases; Free Energy Decreases; Kinetic energy Increases; Kinetic energy

During oxidative phosphorylation of cell respiration, H+ ions move through the membrane pumping electrons from one side of the membrane to the other. ATP is synthesized when H+ ions move through a protein channel provided by ATP synthase. ATP pushes electrons through membrane carriers creating a H+ ion gradient. a concentration gradient is generated when large numbers of H+ ions passively diffuse from the matrix of the mitochondrion to the mitochondrion's intermembrane space. a phosphate is transferred from an organic molecule to ADP.

ATP is produced by Oxidative Phosphorylation in electron transport chain (at the 4th stage of glucose metabolism) Group of answer choices by H+ concentration gradient developed across the two membranes of mitochondria by NADH giving H to ADP by Cytochrome C enzymes giving energy to ADP in the matrix of mitochondria
