O2, H2O
30
chemiosmotic coupling
electron transport through electron transport chain is coupled to ATP synthesis
31
chemiosmotic coupling involves storage of energy in a ____________ which is subsequently used to drive ATP synthesis
proton gradient
32
5 protein complexes of electron transport chain

34
coenzyme Q (ubiquinone)
lipid soluble electron carrier (e- carried to complex III)
35
cytochrome c (cyt c)
peripheral membrane protein on outer face of inner membrane (e- carried to complex IV)
36
Describe transport of electrons from NADH down electron transport chain within inner membrane
- e- enter ETC from NADH in complex I - e- transferred to coenzyme Q to complex III - e- transferred from cyt b to cyt c to complex IV - complex IV transfers e- to oxygen
37
Describe transport of electrons from FADH2 down electron transport chain within inner membrane
- succinate produced in citric acid cycle is reduced by succinate dehydrogenase in complex II to generate FADH2 - FADH2 reduced to FAD +H2, donating e- to coenzyme Q - e- transported through complex III and IV driving proton pump
