Science Stuff: Intro to Oxidative Phosphorylation

I think it'd be nice if i did some summary of what im learning here in my blog... so i teach myself in written form and so i can test myself i really know it... I think that itll be fun! so here is my first subject oxidative phosphorylation...

oh btw this is not going to be a paper that needs to be third person with all that good stuff.. no i am going to do this my way of understanding these things. and if you dont believe it then check wikipedia ok?? hehehe here it goes...

The mitochondria produces ATP but how it is produced is the study in which oxidative phosphorylation explains to us how this happens. The energy source that the mitochondria gets from is the proton gradient which is maintained by the oxidation of NADH and FADH2. But this is no simple stuff... because the oxidation of these two involve in a series of catalytic components...
