Electron Transport Chain
The electron transport chain uses the electrons from electron carriers to create a chemical gradient that can be used to power oxidative phosphorylation.
Chemiosmosis and Oxidative Phosphorylation
Chemiosmosis is the movement of ions across a selectively permeable membrane, down their electrochemical gradient.
ATP Yield
The amount of energy (as ATP) gained from glucose catabolism varies across species and depends on other related cellular processes.
