Lecture Video: Respiration: Proton Pumps and ATP Synthesis

The final stages of cell respiration are outlined in this video. Professor Essigmann describes how a proton pump works to store energy for ATP synthesis. A physiological scenario is presented summarizing catabolism to this point in the course.
