ATP is the energy coin of the cell. In cellular respiration, ATP is mainly produced by the electron transport chain (ETC) which is coupled to a concentration gradient of protons in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
- In this case, the organism above described CANNOT synthesize ATP by the electron transport chain (ETC) because it cannot generate a concentration gradient of protons (H+).
- Cellular respiration is a series of metabolic reactions used by aerobic organisms to generate ATP from foods and oxygen.
- Cellular respiration consists of three stages glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
- In oxidative phosphorylation, the ETC is coupled to the generation of an H+ concentration gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, which is then used to synthesize ATP.
