Summary Introduction

To review:

The effect of oxidative phosphorylation on allowing other positive ions to diffuse across the inner mitochondrial membrane based on chemiosmotic theory.

Introduction:

In the year 1961, Peter Mitchell explained oxidative phosphorylation using chemiosmotic coupling theory. According to this theory, electron transport across a membrane creates an electrochemical gradient. This can lead to energy production in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
