Control of respiratory rate
• Availability of substrate (NADH or FADH2)
• Availability of oxygen
• Rate of electron transfer between and within electron
transport complexes
• Availability of ADP and Pi
• Proton gradient – DG of proton translocation

Some additional processes driven by proton gradient
• sugar and amino transport in bacterial cells
• Ca2+ movement into mitochondria
• rotation of flagella in some bacteria
• temperature regulation
•brown fat, skunk cabbage, thermogenin (uncoupling protein)
Optional reading
