(32 cards)

1
Q

in regulation of OxPhos, e-s flows from the molecules with _ E0’ to that with the _ E0’

A

flow from molecules with lower E0’ to that with the highest E0’

E0’ = standard redox potential

Q

what are the 2 factors that govern the pmf to drive ATP synthesis by Complex V

A
  1. chemical/pH gradient ( protons are responsible for low pH)
  2. charge gradient/membrane potential (need intact, non-leaky mem for pos charge)

Q

peter mitchell suggested the chemiosomotic hypothesis to propose what:

Q

what are the details peter mitchell’s proposed model?

A

the transfer of e-s through the respiratory chain leads to pumping of H+s from the matrix to the cytoplasmic side of the inner mito mem. The H+ conc becomes lower in the matrix, creating a neg field in the matrix, and H+s flow back into matrix to equalize

Q

ATP synthase/Complex V is embedded in the inner mito membrane.
The F0 subunit is for:
The F1 subunit is for:

A

F0 unit spans the inner mito mem and contains a proton channel
F1 unit protrudes into the mito matrix and contains the catalytic activity of the synthase

Q

the 5 subunits of F1, which ones have a specific purpose?

A

alpha and beta subunits bind nucleotides (ATP/ADP) but only beta is catalytically active; the gamma subunit breaks symmetry of the a3B3 hexamer

Q

malate-aspartate shuttle operates in:

A

heart, liver, and kidneys

17
Q

malate-aspartate shuttle generates NADH in _

A

in mito-matrix

18
Q

in the malate-aspartate shuttle, NADH enters to ETC at _

19
Q

glycerophosphate-shuttle operates in:

A

skeletal muscle and brain

20
Q

glycerophosphate-shuttle generates FADH2 in the _

A

inner mito-membrane

21
Q

in the glycerophosphate-shuttle, FADH2 joins to ETC at _

22
Q

levels of _ regulate respiration

23
Q

T/F: e-s flow through ETC only when ADP phosphorylated to ATP

A

true; e-s do not flow through the ETC to O2 unless ADP is simultaneously phosphorylated to ATP

24
Q

regulation of ADP levels is called:

A

respiratory control or acceptor control ex when ADP conc rises in active muscle the rate of OxPhos rises to meet ATP needs of the muscle

25
Inhibition of OxPhos happens when:
when transfer of e-s is inhibited ie: - a decr in the pumping of protons - a decr in the proton gradient - inhibition of ATP synthesis
26
uncoupling OxPhos from ATP synthesis to generate heat happens in _
brown adipose tissue
27
in brown adipose tissue, the inner mito-membrane contain uncoupling protein:
UCP 1 aka thermogenin
28
thermogenin transfers protons from to where?
transports protons from the cytoplasm to the matrix with the assistance of FAs cytoplasm -> intermembrane space -> matrix
29
about _ molecules of ATP are formed when glucose is completely oxidized to CO2
30
30
Most of the ATP, _ of 30 molecules formed when glucose is oxidized to CO2, is generated by OxPhos
26 from OxPhos
31
thermogenin generates heat by permitting the influx of protons into the mitochondria without _
the synthesis of ATP
32
Iron-sulfur centers
- Present in complex I, II, III (covalently attached) - Fe-S centers are non-heme acceptors/donors of e-s - diseases associated w defects in biogenesis of Fe-S centers
