Description: This process consists of two distinct events involving the electron transport chain and the ATP synthase. The electron transport chain removes electrons from NADH or FADH2 and pumps H+ across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The ATP synthase uses the energy in the H+ electrochemical gradient to phosphorylate ADP and thereby synthesize ATP.
