ETC Flashcards
(37 cards)
A series of reaction wherein ELECTRONS AND H+ FROM NADH AND FADH2 are passed to intermediate carriers before being accepted ultimately by O2 to produce H2O
Electron Transport Chain
Location of ETC
Mitochondria
electron flow, can transfer protons
I, III, IV
FADH 2 transfer, no proton transfer
II
accept O² oxygen to generate H²O water
IV
electron from FADH2 pass through
III, IV
How many protons have I and II?
4 protons
How many protons have IV?
2 protons
Complex I
name
NADH dehydrogenase
Complex II name
Succinate CoQ oxidoreductase
Complex III
name
Cytochrome bc1 complex
Complex IV name
Cytochrome c oxidase
How many protons synthesize on ATP molecule?
4 protons
block electron transfer I and II
Rotenone
inhibits electron flow IV
CN-, CO, N3
ETC kj/mol
219.99 kJ/mol
An enzyme complex containing the catalytic site for the synthesis of ATP
ATP Synthase
Chemiosmotic Hypothesis
• Proposed by
Peter Mitchell in 1961
Upon creation of a proton gradient, PROTONS
FLOW BACK TO THE MATRIX to equalize charge
distribution and by doing so, DRIVES SYNTHESIS of
ATP by
ATP synthase
Proton flow effects a change in the shape of the ATP synthase
ATP Formation
Change in shape enables binding of __ and __ to form ATP.
ADP and Pi
“Proton-motive force”
Oxidation of fuels and the phosphorylation of
ADP are coupled by a
proton-gradient
Upon oxidation of NADH, __ protons are pumped
10
For the oxidation of FADH2, only __ protons are pumped
