  • During stage III of cell respiration, reduced
    coenzymes are produced during the metabolic
    pathway known as Krebs cycle, which takes place
    in the matrix of the mitochondrion. During stage
    IV, a proton gradient is established across a
    membrane due to flow of electrons from 1 complex
    to next, with final oxidizing agent being O2.
    This gradient is dissipated during chemi-osmosis,
    which is the diffusion of protons through ATP
    synthase, making ATP.

  • In chloroplasts, the process is similar, except
    that the original source of electrons is H2O, and
    the final oxidizing agent in non-cyclic
    photophos-phorylation is NADP. The
    light-independent reaction, or Calvin cycle takes
    place in the stroma of chloroplasts. In C3
    plants, such chloroplasts would be conducting
    this cycle in mesophyll cells in C4 plants it
    would be done in bundle sheath cells. CAM plants,
    such as cactuses and bromeliads carry out the
    light and light-indepen-dent reaction at (during)
    daytime and fix CO2 at night. In these plants,
    the 1st stable product of fixation is 4-C
    compounds. The enzyme which carboxylates RuBP in
    these plants is RUBISCO.
