Oxidative Phosphorylation occurs in the matrix and intermembrane space
During Oxidative Phosphorylation, reduced NAD and FAD release H+ ions splitting into protons and electrons
Electrons split in Oxidative Phosphorylation go through the electrontransferchain, producing energy for active transport of H+ ions into matrix, creating an electrochemical gradient
H+ Ions transported into the matrix during Oxidative Phosphorylation move down the concentration gradient via facilitated diffusion through ATP Synthase, changing the shape of the protein to release energy catalysing ATP production
Oxygen acts as the finalelectronacceptor in Oxidative Phosphorylation, picking up electrons and H+ ions to produce water
