3. Chloroplast and photosynthesis
A. Comparison of a mitochondrion and a chloroplast.
As electrons move through the electron-transport chain, H+ are pumped out across the inner membrane, and form Proton motive force;
Electrons move through the inner membrane via a series of carriers of decreasing redox potential
More than 21026 molecules (>160kg) of ATP per day in our bodies.
Electrons pass from NADH or FADH2 to O2, the terminal electron acceptor, through a chain of carriers in the inner membrane (FMN, Fe-S center, Heme group Fe, CoQ);

Figure 7-26 An experiment demonstrating that the ATP synthase is driven by proton flow. By combining a lightdriven bacterial proton pump (bacteriorhodopsin), an ATP synthase purified from ox heart mitochondria, and phospholipids, vesicles were produced that synthesized ATP in response to light.
Figure 14-6 Fractionation of purified mitochondria into separate components. These techniques have made
it possible to study the different proteins in each mitochondrial compartment. The method shown, which allows the processing of large numbers of mitochondria at the same time, takes advantage of the fact that in media of low osmotic strength water flows into mitochondria and greatly expands the matrix space (yellow). While the cristae of the inner membrane allow it to unfold to accommodate the expansion, the outer membranewhich has no folds to begin withbreaks, releasing a structure composed of only the inner membrane and the matrix.

❖Inner and outer mitochondrial membranes enclose two spaces: the matrix and intermembrane space.
C. Mithchell’s Chemiosmotic theory (1961)
❖The pH and electrical gradient resulting from transport of protons links oxidation to phosphorylation. ❖When electrons are passed to carriers only able to accept electrons, the H+ is translocated across the inner membrane.
(1) Electron-transport chain: Carry out oxidation reactions; (2) ATP synthase: Makes ATP in the matrix; (3) Transport proteins: Allow the passage of metabolites

❖The size and number of mitochondria reflect the energy requirements of the cell.
Figure 14-39 The chloroplast. This photosynthetic organelle contains three
distinct membranes (the outer membrane, the inner membrane, and the thylakoid membrane) that define three separate internal compartments (the intermembrane space, the stroma, and the thylakoid space). The thylakoid membrane contains all of the energy-generating systems of the chloroplast. In electron micrographs this membrane appears to be broken up into separate units that enclose individual flattened vesicles (see Figure 14-40), but these are probably joined into a single, highly folded membrane in each chloroplast. As indicated, the individual thylakoids are interconnected, and they tend to stack to form aggregates called grana.
