Q

Change in free energy is predictive in physiologic conditions. True or false?

A

False. 1. ΔGo is predictive only under standard conditions, where ΔG = ΔGo but not in reactions under physiologic conditions because of the presence of constants (R, T, and Keq) and is, therefore, not altered by changes in product or substrate concentrations

c. after Complex I and Complex II, CoQ still has 2 electrons

4 electrons dapat

17
Q

false about Complex III

a. Electrons in Coenzyme Q are used by Complex III to
produce Cytochrome C
b. Coenzyme Q is oxidized 
c. reduction of Cytochrome C
d. endergonic reaction
A

d. endergonic reaction
