Question
Chapter 8.2, Problem 2C
Summary Introduction
To explain: The role of electron transport chain, proton gradient, and ATP synthase complex in chemiosmosis ATP synthesis.
Concept introduction: The process in which ions are moved by diffusion across a semi-permeable membrane to synthesize ATP is known as chemiosmosis. This process takes place inside the mitochondria during the aerobic

What essential role does each of the following play in chemiosmotic ATP synthesis: (1) electron transport chain, (2) proton gradient, and (3) ATP synthase complex?
Much of our understanding of ATP synthase is derived from research on aerobic bacteria. What makes these organisms useful for this research? Where do the reactions of glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron-transport chain occur in these organisms?
What steps in glycolysis generate substrate-level phosphorylation, and how many ATP molecules are generated in this way in this pathway? How does the generation of ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation differ from ATP generation by oxidative phosphorylation?
