C.3.5, 8.1.5: Explain oxidative phosphorylation in terms of chemiosmosis

Oxidative phosphorylation: Oxidative phosphorylation: The process in cell metabolism by which respiratory enzymes in the mitochondria synthesize ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate using the energy released by the oxidation of NADH and FADH2 by molecular oxygen.

The coupling of the movement of electrons down the electron transport chain with movement of hydrogen ions through ATP synthase to generate ATP which occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells during aerobic cellular respiration.

Chemiosmosis: the diffusion of hydrogen ions (protons) across the biological membrane via the ATP synthase. As the hydrogen ions diffuse (through the ATP synthase) energy is released which is then used to drive the conversion of ADP and inorganic phosphate to ATP.

Oxidative phosphorylation

IB Question: Describe the function of oxygen in oxidative phosphorylation [2]

IB Question: Explain how chemiosmosis assists in ATP production during oxidative phosphorylation. [9]

occurs during aerobic respiration; oxidative phosphorylation occurs during the electron transport chain; hydrogen/electrons are passed between carriers; releasing energy; finally join with oxygen (to produce water); occurs in cristae of mitochondria; chemiosmosis is the movement of protons/hydrogen ions; protons move/are moved against their concentration gradient; into the space between the two membranes; protons flow back to the matrix; through the ATP synthase/synthetase (enzyme); energy is released which produces more ATP/combines ADP and Pi; [9 max]

8.1.6: Explain the relationship between the structure of the mitochondrion and its function

Mitochondrion Structure Function of structure

MatrixThe matrix is the mitochondrion’s cytoplasm. It is the fluid contained inside the inner membrane. The matrix contains enzymes for the Krebs cycle.

Inter-membrane space

The small intermembrane space is in-between the inner and outer membrane of a mitochondrion. It functions to store protons, which are then used to make ATP as they flow down a concentration gradient.

Cristae

Cristae are infoldings of the inner membrane, which is the location of the electron transport chain of cell respiration. The cristae increase surface area of the inner membrane; thus increasing the rate of ATP formation.
