pyruvate produced by glycolysis;
pyruvate enters mitochondrion/mitochondria;
pyruvate loses CO2 in link reaction;
and NADH + H+;
with formation of acetyl CoA;
to take part in Krebs cycle;
where two CO2 are produced (per molecule of pyruvate);
one ATP from ADP + Pi;
along with (three) NADH + H+ (and one FADH2);
NADH + H+ provide electrons circulating in the electron transport chain on the
inner mitochondrial membrane;
allowing H+ to accumulate in the intermembrane space;
and come back to the matrix through ATP synthase/synthetase to produce ATP
(by chemiosmosis);
presence of O2 required as the final electron acceptor for the electron transport chain;
producing water with H + ; [8 max]
C.3.5, 8.1.5: Explain oxidative phosphorylation in terms of chemiosmosis
Oxidative phosphorylation:
Oxidative phosphorylation: The process in cell metabolism by which respiratory
enzymes in the mitochondria synthesize ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate using
the energy released by the oxidation of NADH and FADH2 by molecular oxygen.
The coupling of the movement of electrons down the electron transport chain with
movement of hydrogen ions through ATP synthase to generate ATP which occurs in
the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells during aerobic cellular respiration.
Chemiosmosis: the diffusion of hydrogen ions (protons) across the biological
membrane via the ATP synthase. As the hydrogen ions diffuse (through the ATP
synthase) energy is released which is then used to drive the conversion of ADP and
inorganic phosphate to ATP.
Oxidative phosphorylation
IB Question: Describe the function of oxygen in oxidative phosphorylation
[2]
oxygen is the final acceptor of electrons/protons/; water is formed / oxygen is reduced; in the
(mitochondrial) electron transport chain; (aerobic respiration) increases yield of ATP; [2 max] H
IB Question: Explain how chemiosmosis assists in ATP production during oxidative
phosphorylation. [9]
occurs during aerobic respiration;
oxidative phosphorylation occurs during the electron transport chain;
hydrogen/electrons are passed between carriers;
releasing energy;
finally join with oxygen (to produce water);
occurs in cristae of mitochondria;
chemiosmosis is the movement of protons/hydrogen ions;
protons move/are moved against their concentration gradient;
into the space between the two membranes;
protons flow back to the matrix;
through the ATP synthase/synthetase (enzyme);
energy is released which produces more ATP/combines ADP and Pi; [9 max]
8.1.6: Explain the relationship between the structure of the mitochondrion and its function
Mitochondrion
Structure
Matrix
Inter-membrane
space
Cristae
Function of structure
The matrix is the mitochondrion’s cytoplasm. It is
the fluid contained inside the inner membrane.
The matrix contains enzymes for the Krebs cycle.
The small intermembrane space is in-between
the inner and outer membrane of a
mitochondrion. It functions to store protons,
which are then used to make ATP as they flow
down a concentration gradient.
Cristae are infoldings of the inner membrane,
which is the location of the electron transport
chain of cell respiration. The cristae increase
surface area of the inner membrane; thus
increasing the rate of ATP formation.

ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco) catalyzes attachment of 2 CO to
(five-carbon sugar) ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP);
(unstable six-carbon intermediate) forms two molecules of glycerate-3-phosphate;
each (of two) glycerate-3-phosphate then receives one phosphate from ATP;
each (of two) phosphorylated glycerate-3-phosphate is reduced by NADPH H ;
result is (two molecules of) glyceraldehyde phosphate/triose phosphate (TP);
for every six molecules of glyceraldehyde phosphate one goes to form glucose/
glucose phosphate;
remaining molecules reorganized to RuBP;
reorganization requires ATP;
