How does the ETC phosphorylate ADP to ATP?
Definition
1. Every time 2 high-energy electron pairs flow down the ETC, their energy is used to transport hydrogen ions (H+) across the membrane.

3. The inner membranes of the mitochondrion contain specialized protein channels called ATP synthases.
4. As H+ pass through these channels, the ATP synthases rotate.
5. With each turn, the enzyme grabs a low-energy ADP, attaches a phosphate forming an energized ATP (phosphorylation.)

What is a nephron and how does it work?
Definition
The functional unit of the kidney. It begins with an arteriole, which carries blood to be filtered. The arteriole enters a cup shaped structure called Bowman's capsule. Within the capsule, the arteriole divides, forming a ball of capillaries called the glomerulus. The blood in the glomerulus is under high pressure, and water containing urea, salts, and a variety of other substances is forced out of the blood and diffuses into the cells of the surrounding capsule. From this capsule is the nephric filtrate passes into the loop of the renal tubule,w hich is surrounded by capillaries. As the filtrate passes through the tubule, most of the water and useful substances are reabsorbed into the blood, a process requiring active trasnport. The remaining concentrated filtreate is in the urine, which passes into collecting ducts and is drained from the kidneys.
