Unit 3.3 - Respiration Flashcards
(7 cards)
1
Q
What are the three types of phosphorylation?
A
- Oxidative
- Photophosphorylation
- Substrate-level
2
Q
What is oxidative phosphorylation and where does it occur?
A
Occurs in the mitochondria
It is the addition of a phosphate during aerobic respiration
3
Q
Where is the electron transport chain located?
A
In the cristae of the inner mitochondrial membrane
4
Q
Where do the electrons come from that are involved in the ETC?
A
NADred and FADred are the electron carriers
These co-enzymes are made during previous aerobic respiration stages
5
Q
What does the ETC contain?
A
Protein carriers + pumps
6
Q
What is the ETCs main function?
A
To facilitate the production of ATP
