9.1 Flashcards
After the first 3 stages of aerobic respiration
1 glucose molecule has been oxidized to
-6 CO2
-4 ATP
-10 NADH
-2 FADH2
Oxidative phosphorylation
Produces majority of ATP derived from glucose oxidation
Electron transport Chaim (etc)
-Etc allows for the stepwise extraction of energy as electrons are passed from one component to the next
-the energy depleted electrons are eventually transferred to a final acceptor (O2)
-electron energy is converted to ATP after the ETC
Etc components
Etc is a series of membrane bound protein complexes and lipid soluble electron carriers
Electron transport chain
-3 transmembrane enzyme complexes harvest some energy from elections and pass lower energy electrons onward
-complexes use energy harvested from electrons to pump protons (H+) from matrix to intermembrane space
