Test 3 Flashcards
Complex I can leak what ____ toward the matrix?
O2
Complex III generates O2 where?
toward both matrix and inter-membrane space
When the cell is stressed it has what moved into the mitochondria.
apoptotic pathways, P66^she
P66 ^she is part of apoptosis generating _____ molecules.
ROS
How does P66^she accomplish apoptosis.
it accomplishes this by subtracting electrons from cytochrome c to produce O2
____ is highly regulated event in a cell. preventing apotosis.
ROS production
In a cell that has not signaled apoptosis O2 is dismutated to ____
H2O2
what dismutated H2O2
Cu, Zn, SOD (Super-oxide dismutatse)
What happens in the mitochondria after O2 is reduced to H2O2.
it is reduced to H2O by glutathione peroxidase (GPX) using GSH (glutathione), and the resultant oxidized glutathione (GSSG) is reduced back to GSH by glutathione reductase
A typical mammalian liver mitochondria has roughly ______ copies of the ATP synthase
15,000
Homologous versions of the ATP synthase are found?
plasma membrane of aerobic, bacteria, the thylakoid membrane of plant chloroplasts, and the inner mt membrane
Recent high-resolution EM work suggests that the two portions of the ATP synthase are connected by___
central peripheral stalk
ATP synthesizing enzyme has what two parts
F1 head, F0 (Fnot) basal section
F1
a spherical head
F0 (Fnot)
a basal section embedded in the inner membrane
The generated proton gradient is then used to make ATP via a protein complex known by several names
Fnot/F1 complex, ATP synthase, complex V (out of date)
Endergonic process is driven by ______ in energy level of the electron as it passes through.
reduction
what two enzymes are not part of the four complexes?
cytochrome c, ubiquinone (CoQ)
enzymes that transfer pairs of electrons from substrates to molecules such as the conenzymes NAD+ and FADH are called
dehydrogenases
Pathway by which monosaccharides are broken down
