Q

A series of redox reactions occur by reduced electron carriers. Electrons are transferred as H+ ions. How does this play a role in oxidative phosphorylation?

A

The H+ ions goes across the inner mitochondrial membrane creating a concentration and charge gradient.

Q

What is the role of CoQH2? (2•)

A

•It carries electrons and protons. •Electrons go to to complex III and transferred to cytochrome c, and protons are released into the intermembrane space.

Q

Final electron accepter in ETC in animals?

A
20
Q

Terminal electron acceptor?

A

The last reaction that accepts the electrons of glucose, which is O2.

21
Q

Lactic Acid Fermentation?

A

•Glucose runs through glycolysis
•Pyruvate picks up the electrons and get reduced into lactic acid.

22
Q

Ethanol-Fermentation steps? (2•)

A

•Glucose goes through glycolysis
•2 pyruvates looses a total of 2 CO2 and forms Acetaldehyde, pyruvate picks up 2 protons from the oxidation of 2 NADH to 2 NAD+, and ethanol is formed.

23
Q

Pyruvate Processing?

A

Inputs: Pyruvate, NAD+, Co-enzyme A
Outputs: NADH+, CO2, Acetyl CoA

24
Q

Citric Acid Cycle?

A

Inputs: FAD, ADP, NAD+, Acetyl CoA
Outputs: NADH, ATP, CO2, CoA, FADH2

25
Q

Locations of metabolic steps in eukaryotes? (2•)

A

•Glycolysis happens in the cytosol
•Stages 2-4 happens inside the mitochondria.

26
Q

Location of metabolic steps in bacteria? (2•)

A

•stages 1-3 happens inside the cytosol
•stage 4 happens inside the plasma membrane of the cell.

27
Q

Where does oxidative phosphorylation takes place?

A

Eukaryotes: inside the inner membrane of mitochondria.

28
Q

Oxidative Phosphorylation inputs and outputs? (2•)

A

•Inputs: 1 O2, 8 NADH, 3 FADH2, 2 ADP
•Outputs: 4 FAD, 7 NAD+, 6 ATP, 5 H2O

29
Q

Chemiosmosis?

A

Protons move through a gradient (proton gradient).

30
Q

Electrochemical gradient?

A

A gradient because of both charge and concentration (e.g. chemiosmosis since H+ is positively charged and depends on concentration)

31
Q

What forms the electrochemical gradient in oxidative phosphorylation?

A

Electron Transport Chain

32
Q

What is the role for each complex in ETC and how does energy get passed?

A

Oxidizing NADH (in complex 1) and FADH2 (in complex 2) to pass electrons as 2e- in total through complex III, IV and to O2 which gets reduced to water.

33
Q

Terminal electron acceptor (TEA)?

A

O2 + 4H+ + 4e- -> 2 H2O

34
Q

What happens to each complex when it receives electrons from high energy intermediates and how is that electrons used in each complex? (3•)

A

Each protein •complex is reduced by the electrons from •oxidizing the high energy intermediates, and •gains a little bit of potential energy from that energy that is •used to pump protons from the Matrix to the intermembrane space (primary active transport by proton gradient).

35
Q

Protons do not want to stay in the intermediate space. So where do they go?

A

Back to the matrix through ATP synthase spontaneously, thus free energy is released and transferred to ATP synthase to make ATP.

36
Q

……Why is metabolism not in one reaction step?

A

Since a little bit of energy is required to make ATP, but there needs to be a pause for ATP to be made. However if a lot of energy is released by one step, then there is not enough time to make multiple ATP molecules.

37
Q

Proton motive force?

A

Energy extracted by the spontaneous effects of diffusing protons through ATP synthase that spins the F1 subunit of ATP synthase.

38
Q

F1 subunit of ATP synthase?

A

The spinning part that catalyze the synthesis of ATP.

39
Q

F0 subunit?

A

A channel that rotates as protons pass through it.

40
Q

Substrate level of phosphorylation TOTAL ATP production?

A

4 ATP

41
Q

Oxidative Phosphorylation TOTAL ATP?

A

28 ATP

42
Q

Total ATP production in cellular respiration?

A

32 ATP

43
Q

Anaerobic organisms use anaerobic cellular respiration to produce ATP. What do they use instead of oxygen?

A

NO3- or SO4 2- to run all 4 steps of cellular respiration.

44
Q

Think about the coefficients in inputs and outputs in oxidative phosphorylation.

A
45
Q

Dinitrophenol (DNP)?

A

If it reaches the mitochondria or bacteria, it allows protons the ability to diffuse through the innermembrane.

46
Q

What happens to the potential energy if DNP is introduced to the inner membrane?

A

The energy goes to water once protons slams into water, and water vibrates fast and releases heat which boils it.
