Explain oxidative phosphorylation and electron transport using evidence from each question and mark scheme.
Identify protein D and the group of proteins represented by A, B and C and describe their roles in oxidative phosphorylation.
1 D = ATP synthase / ATP synthetase ;
R ATPase
2 A, B and C= ETC / electron transport chain / electron carriers / electron acceptors ;
plus any five from:
role of, ETC proteins / A, B and C
3 electrons travel along ETC ;
4 energy released ;
5 (use energy released) to pump / actively transport, H+/ protons, into intermembrane space ;
6 increases concentration of H+/ protons (in intermembrane space)/ creates proton gradient ;
role of D
7H+/ protons, diffuse through, ATP synthase / D ;
8 (from intermembrane space) to matrix ;
9 synthesis of ATP from ADP and Pi ;
10 chemiosmosis;
