Lecture 16 Flashcards
1
Q
Know the basic structure of a mitochondria
A
Inner and outer membrane
Intermembrane space = between the two membranes
Mitochondrial matrix = the space inside the inner membrane
2
Q
Acetyl CoA Synthesis reaction;
including where it takes place in the cell, its requirement for oxygen, the basic components of the reaction and its catalysis by the Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex
A
In the presence of oxygen: pyruvate is transported into the mitochondrial matrix and is converted to Acetyl CoA
Catalyzed by Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex
3
Q
how much ATP, NADH and FADH2 is produced per molecule of glucose during the CAC
A
Per molecule of Glucose (2x as much as Acetyl CoA)
2 ATP
6 NADH
2 FADH2
Per molecule of Acetyl CoA
1 ATP
3 NADH
1 FADH2
