The universal energy carrier found in all living cells
Adenosine Triphosphate
1 of 14
An enzyme found embedded in cellular membranes that phosphorylates ADP to form ATP as protons flow through it.
ATP synthase
2 of 14
The synthesis of ATP through the movement of protons down their concentration gradient across a semipermeable membrane, catalysed by ATP synthase.
Chemiosmosis
3 of 14
An organelle found in plants and algae that is the site of photosynthesis
Chloroplasts
4 of 14
A series of electron carrier proteins that transfer electrons in a chain of oxidation-reduction reactions
Electron transport chain
5 of 14
A molecule that is capable of accepting and donating electrons e.g. NAD, NADP
Electron carrier
6 of 14
The mitochondrial membrane that segregates the matrix from the inter-membrane space. It is the sit of the electron transport chain.
Inner mitochondrial membrane
7 of 14
The small space between the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes. Protons flow out of the intermembrane space across the inner membrane
Intermembrane space
8 of 14
The fluid-filled space within the inner membrane of the mitochondria which contains mitochondrial DNA and enzymes required for aerobic respiration. Protons flow across the inner membrane into the matrix
Matrix
9 of 14
An organelle found in eukaryotic cells that is the site of aerobic respiration
mitochondrion
10 of 14
An integral membrane protein that establishes a proton gradient for ATP synthesis across a membrane
Proton pump
11 of 14
The fluid interior of chloroplasts that contain the enzymes required for the light-dependent reaction. Protons flow across the thylakoid membrane into the stroma
Stroma
12 of 14
The membrane that segregates the thylakoid space from the stroma. It is the site of the electron transport transport chain
Thylakoid membrane
13 of 14
The space inside the membrane-bound thylakoid disks. Protons flow out of the thylakoid space across the thylakoid membrane
