Title: The enzyme ATP synthase is not part of the electron transport chain of respiration, but is int Post by: pado on Oct 4, 2017 ATP synthase couples the passive flow of protons from the intermembrane space into the mitochondrial matrix to the synthesis of ATP.
ATP synthase harnesses the energy in the proton gradient that is built by the ETC. ATP synthase actively transports protons from the intermembrane space into the mitochondrial matrix and couples this to the synthesis of ATP. ATP synthase harvests the electrons that pass through the ETC.

ATP synthase harnesses the energy in the proton gradient that is built by the ETC. I believe only these two are correct |
