Question

In the process of oxidative phosphorylation, where is the proton gradient established, and how does it facilitate ATP production?

Accepted Answer

Across the inner mitochondrial membrane, protons are driven through ATP synthase to produce ATP

Answer

In the cytoplasm, facilitating ATP production by substrate-level phosphorylation

Answer

Within the mitochondrial matrix, directly combining ADP and P_ito form ATP

Answer

Across the plasma membrane, using proton motive force for glucose transport
