OsMOSISORG 3 OSMOSIS.ORG Figure 1.4 Oxidative phosphorylation. The passing of electrons along the electron transport chain generates an electrical current, which provides the eneray that allows complexes |, Il, and IV to pump protons into the space between the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes. This ‘creates a gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The protons use proton chennel F, to flow down the gradient, back into the mitochondrial matrix. F, is attached to enzyme F,, an ATP synthase, which uses the proton gradient to phosphorylate ADP — ATP.
