RESPIRATORY CHAIN in simple terms | Oxidative phosphorylation (how to say it on the exam)
The Respiratory Chain in Simple Terms – an explanation of oxidative phosphorylation for students and anyone who wants to understand biochemistry without cramming. In this video, we'll explore how the mitochondrial respiratory chain works, where the electrons from NADH and FADH2 go, why oxygen is needed, and how the energy from electron transfer is used to synthesize ATP.
In this video, you'll understand:
— what the respiratory chain is
— why this process is called oxidative phosphorylation
— where the respiratory chain complexes are located
— how NADH and FADH2 transfer electrons
— why oxygen is needed and how water is formed
— how a proton gradient is created
— how ATP synthase works
— why NADH produces more ATP than FADH2
— what oxidative phosphorylation uncoupling is
— how respiratory chain inhibitors disrupt energy production
