Etc and chemiosmosis is happended in mitochondrial of cells.
Reactants are NADH OR FADH2 AND OXYGEN
PRODUCTS IS WATER AND NAD+ OR FAD+ AND ENERGY(ATP)
IF ONE MOLECULES OF NADH IS REDUCED IT GIVES 2.5 MOLECULES LF ATP AND IF FADH2 IS REDUCED THEN 1.5 MOLECULES OF ATP WILL BE PRODUCED.
WHEN H+ ARE PUMPED OUT FROM MITOCHONDRIAL MATRIX TO INTERMEMBRANE SPACE , VOLTAGE GRADIENT AND ALSO CONCENTRATION GRADIENT CREATES BETWEN INTERMEMBRANE SPACE AND MATRIX. THIS FORCE IS CALLED PROTON MOTIF FORCE.
THIS IS CHEMIOSMOSIS.
ATP SYNTHASE IS AN ENZYME WHICH KS PRESENT IN INNER MITOCHONDRIAL MEMBRANE AND uses this gradient to make ATP from ADP and pi
