A

highly permeable

7
Q

inner membrane permeability

A

less permeable

8
Q

what does the matrix contain

A

soluble enzyme system, PDH complex, enzymes for fatty acid beta oxiation, some urea cycle enzymes

9
Q

ETs

A

series of chain of electron carries in inner mitochondrial membrane that funnel electrons from reduced substrates to molecule oxygen to form water

10
Q

what happes to free energy in ETS

A

loses free energy

11
Q

oxidative phosphorylation

A

coupling of oxidation of metabolic substrates by ETS to phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP

12
Q

What proteins are in the ETS

A

dehydrogenases, iron containing proteins, nonheme-iron proteins

13
Q

what lipids are in the ETS

A

coenzyme Q

14
Q

what are the dehydrogenases of the ETS

A

succinate dehydrogenase, NADH dehydrogenase, fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogase, glycerol 2 phosphate dehydrogenase

15
Q

function of NADH dehydrogase

A

oxidizes NADH to NAD+

16
Q

function of fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase

A

catalyzes the intiral step in beta oxidation of fatty acids

17
Q

what are the iron contain proteins in ETS

A

cytochromes

18
Q

waht is uniwue about the iron of cytochromes

A

undergoes fluctuation between teh reduced and oxidized state (Fe2+, Fe3+)

19
Q

what are the nonheme iron proteins in ETS

A

they contain irson complexed to sulfide ions

20

I, III, IV

27
Q

the amount of energy liberated via ETS would form how many ATPs under standard conditions

A

7

28
Q

chemiosmotic model

A

free energy derived from ETS direces active transport system that pumps H+ out of mitochondrial matrix, establishing electrochemical gradient

Q

what are the sites of proton pumping in the ETS

A

I, III, IV

30
Q

what is complex V

A

ATP synthase, couples the re-entry of protons to the synthesis of ATP

31
Q

what is the F0 unit

A

multisubunit, transmembrane complex that forms a proton channel through the membrane

32
Q

what is the F1 component

A

multisubunit structure that extends into the matrix and forms the catalytic moiety invovled in the actual synthesis of ATP from ADP+Pi

33
