Resulting in the formation of a proton gradient, for 10 points, name this respiratory process which uses the gradient to power the addition of a phosphate group to ADP by ATP synthase and also sees the formation of water.
It can be decoupled by compounds such as 2,4-di-nitro-phenol and FCCP or the protein thermogenin, whereas Rotenon and Antimycin inhibit it. Diseases such as Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy and MERRF occur due to mutations in genes which control this process. The Krebs cycle uses a same enzyme as one used in it, succinate dehydrogenase, and it sees coenzyme Q and cytochrome C mediate its namesake particle transfer.
