Oxidative Phosphorylation (McKee374-378).  

  1. Describe how the relatively high concentration ofprotons are prohibited from returning to the matrix of themitochondria based on the permeability of the inner mitochondrialmembrane
  2. Explain the route taken by the proton gradient based onthe proton channel of the ATP synthase complex.
  3. Describe the location of the rotor portion of the ATPsynthase (F0) based on the membranes and compartments ofthe mitochondria.
  4. Describe how the rotor portion of the ATP turns basedon H+ flowing though the proton channel.
  5. Describe the location of the catalytic sites for ATPsynthesis based on the rotor and stator (F1) of the ATP synthasecomplex.
  6. Describe the location of the F1 portion of the ATPsynthase complex based on the aqueous compartments of themitochondria.
  7. Describe how the turning rotor transfers the energyrequired for ATP formation based on conformational changes in thecatalytic sites that have substrates, ADP and inorganic phosphate(Pi), bound.
  8. Describe how the electron transport chain and ATPsynthase complex cooperate in the process of oxidativephosphorylation
