Electron Transport Chain Flashcards
(5 cards)
1
Q
What is the order of the hydrogen carriers?
A
NAD/FAD, flavoprotein, coenzyme q, cytochromes, oxygen.
2
Q
Each hydrogen carrier is at progressively lower what?
A
Energy levels.
3
Q
How are the H atoms passed from one carrier to the next?
A
A series of redox reactions.
4
Q
After coenzyme q what happens?
A
H atoms split into protons and electrons. Electrons continue along the chain, protons remain in the mitochondrial matrix.
5
Q
What kind of phosphorylation occurs?
A
Oxidative phosphorylation.
