Problem :
What is the name of the enzyme responsible for catalyzing the oxidative
phosphorylation reaction that synthesizes ATP?
Proton translocating ATP synthase
Problem :
How many electrons must pass through the electron transport chain in order
to synthesize one molecule of ATP?
A minimum of two electrons.
Problem :
Where does the energy to drive ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation come
from?
The energy to drive ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation comes from the
energy harnessed in the electron transport chain and the electrochemical
gradient established across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
