Respiration: oxidative phosphorylation + electron transport Flashcards
where in the mitochondria is this process happening electron transport chain ?
cristae
what product is being produced by oxidative phosphorylation
ADP
which molecule from glycolysis ,link reaction and Krebs cycle are needed for the electron transport chain?
NADH+ and FADH
what is the electron transport chain made up of?
electron carriers embedded in the intermembrane of the mitochondria
what enzyme is important in the production of ATP?
ATP-synthase enzyme
movement of which ions causes an electrochemical gradient?
due to the active transport of hydrogen ions into the intermembrane space
what do we call the flow of these ions into the matrix of the mitochondrion?
chemiosmosis
what is the final electron acceptor at the end of the electron transport chain?
oxygen
what is the product at the end of the electron transport chain?
Water
how many ATP are produced per reduced NAD?
