-- Animation #2 of oxidation phosphorylation. NOTE - this animation has far more information than we require you to know. You do not need to know all the steps where electrons are passed within and between Complexes. Additionally, the number of protons pumped across the membrane mentioned in the animation is different from what was mentioned in lecture. This animation is more accurate for the number of protons, BUT it is still true that for every NADH produced, 3 molecules of ATP are produced.
