Oxidative phosphorylation has two major components: _______ and _______.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two major components of oxidative phosphorylation are electron transport and chemiosmosis. Electron transport generates a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane and chemiosmosis uses this gradient to drive ATP synthesis. Proton transport and energy coupling are both involved in the process of chemiosmosis. Osmosis is not directly involved in oxidative phosphorylation. Chemical reduction is also not a component of oxidative phosphorylation.
