Q

Complex protiens 1, 3 , 4 a

A

Transmembrane (Fully span) protein pumps that transfer hydrogen ions from mitochondira into inter membrane space - NADH is oxidised along here

Q

Complex protien 2

A

Peripheral protein (Partially embedded) - Isn’t a pump protien as it’s only partially embedded but FADH2 starts oxidation here

Q

What happens in Pyruvate oxidation

A

Coenzyme A is used to remove a carbon from the pyruvate acid to form into Acetyl CoA and enter mitochondria - CO2 is lost

Q

What happens in Citric Acid Cycle

A

Acetyl CoA releases CO2 which produces many products completing the extraction of energy from glucose - Occurs in mitochondria matrix

17
Q

Citric acid cycle phosphorylation type

A

Substrate phosphorylation - Oxygen needed

18
Q

Products of citric acid cycle

A

Per glucose:

2ATP
6NADH (Proton donor)
2FADH (Proton donor)
4CO2

19
Q

Citric acid cycle intermediate

A

A molecule formed that further reacts to give products are used in metabolic pathways - series of reactants

20
Q

Substrate phosphorylation

A

ATP formed by direct transfer of phosphate to ADP

21
Q

Oxidative phosphorylation

A

ATP formed from oxidation of NADH and FADH2, and pumping of protons

22
Q

What happens in the Electron Transport Chain

A

NADH and FADH2 are oxidised to donate electrons across the complex protiens enabling hydrogen ions to be pumped into intermembrane space

23
Q

Complez 4 with oxygen

A

Oxygen pulls electron along the chain until complex 4 where it’s the final electron acceptor

24
Q

What happens in chemiosmosis

A

The plentiful hydrogen ions from oxidation of NADH and FADH2, follow concentration gradient down which activates ATP synthase turbine phosphoralising ADP into ATP

25
Q

Products of electron transfer chain and chemiosmosis

A

26/28 ATP per glucose

26
Q

Electrin transfer chain and chemiosmosis phosphorylation type

A

Oxidative phosphorylation - Requires oxygen

27
Q

Homeostasis

A

Maintaining internal and external enviroment in stable conditions

28
Q

Insulin

A

Formed from beta cells and promote glucose uptake for ATP

29
Q

Glucagon

A

Formed from alpha cells abd breakdown glycogen into glucose for increased blood sugar

30
Q

Type 1 diabetes

A

Destroyed Beta cells

31
Q

Type 2 Diabetes

A

Insulin resistance due to non functional receptors

32
Q

Phosphofruktokinase

A

Enzyme that rate limiting of glycolysis
