54
Complex II in the ETC?
Succinte dehydrogenase complex (w/CoQ) FADH2 formed in krebs enters ETC, transfers H to iron sulfur groups to CoQ as ELECTRON DONOR and another H+ from surrounding, lipid soluble diffuses w/in inner mitochondrial membrane

Complex III in the ETC?
Cytochrome reductase or c complex (w/CoQ)
removes 2 e- from CoQH2 at Q0 site and sends them to cytochrome c in intermembrane space and the other 2 to Qi site where quinone reduce to quinol
56
Complex IV in the ETC?
Cytochrome c oxidase (oxidative phase-O2 added)
e- to inner mitochondrial membrane from cytochrome c to CuA --> Cu+ transition, and copper passes e- to cytochrome a to CuB and a second e- thru IV picked up by CuA then cytochrome a then ends up as cytochrome a3
O2 molecule takes 2H to make water so OXYGEN IS THE ELECTRON ACCEPTOR
