An outline of oxidative phosphorylation (3)

- The Hs are then allowed to flow by facilitated diffusion through ATP synthase into the matrix - Energy of the H2 flowing down their con. g. is harnessed resulting in the conversion of ADP into ATP by ATP synthase - O2 acts as the 'final electron acceptor' + combines with protons and electrons at the end of the ETC to form H2O
