across the inner membrane, driving the synthesis of ATP catalysed by ATP synthase.

ATP synthesis

ATP Synthase utilizes the electrochemical gradient established by oxidation of NADH and FADH₂ molecules to drive the synthesis of ATP. Oxidation of an NADH and FADH₂ molecule can drive the synthesis of 3 and 2 ATPs, respectively.

As a example, one molecule of glucose gives out 8
