PartII:Chemiosmosis:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Idy2XAlZIVA A hydrogen ion gradient is established by the ETC. Electrons from NADH and FADH2 supply energy to pump H+ into the intermembrane space You get a very strong H+ ion gradient. As a result, H+ tends to flow back into the matrix via diffusion. H+ diffuse slowly across the lipid portion of the membrane, but can easily cross at a protein channel called ATP synthase. H+ takes the path of least resistance.

ATP synthase has 3 components: 1) Rotor in inner membrane (to pass H+), 2) knob poking into matrix (joins P to ADP) and 3) rod connecting rotor to knob (activates sites on knob). Flow of H+ through ATP synthase is exergonic, creating ATP from ADP and P.
