Aerobic Respiration
MicrobeLibrary Visual: Animation
Prior to 1/1/2002 by Susan Merkel, Marcia Cordts
This 25-second animation illustrates how the movement of electrons and protons transmutes energy from covalent bond energy into a proton motive force and back into a covalent (phosphoryl) bond in ATP. |
