<span>Glucose produces NADH and FADH2 via glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. Some ATP is produced in the process but is negligible. Most ATP is made by oxidative phosphorylation where NADH and FADH2 create a proton motive force along the inner mitochondrial membrane. In other words, the concentration of protons (H+) is high in the intermitochondrial space. The protons want to diffuse into the mitochondrial matrix and they do this by going through the ATP synthase protein which resembles a water turbine. As the protons move through the ATP synthase, ATP is produced. In essence the energy from H+ wanting to diffuse through the inner mitochondrial membrane is converted to energy in the form of ATP.

How do the resurection of fern, crysts of brine shrimps and tardigrade survive with no water?
ehidna [41]
They survive without water by entering a special mode, otherwise called as shriveling. They can lose even 95% of water in their body and still live, even though they would look like dead plants, they would actually be alive. In the absence of water, tardigrades use a sugar called trehalose, which becomes their source of life until they find some water.
