Through what process does oxidative phosporylation, to produce energy using oxygen as a final electron acceptor, occur, and where in the cell?
- The electron transport chain, consisting of four complexes that each export hydrogen to the inner membrane space, sets up a electrochemical gradient across the membrane2) The final complex, ATP Synthase, then utilizes the potential energy from the gradient and catalyzes the formation of ATP, using oxygen as an electron acceptor for the passing hydrogens from the inner membrane spaceThis process occurs on the inner membrane of mitochondria
