24
Q

What is bound to complex 2 in the ETC? What is complex 2 called?

A

FAD/FADH2

Succinct dehydrogenase

25
Q

How does the movement of electrons power ETC?

A

The electrons give up free energy

26
Q

What does ATP Synthase use to make ATP from ADP?

A

The free energy stored in the echem gradient

27
Q

What are the two components of ATP synthase?

A

F0 - Entrance for H+ and spins when it comes in
F1 - Has the ring with 3 catalytic sites that makes ADP into ATP (bottom half)

28
Q

How much does the rotor spin per H+?

A

1/10 which means it takes 10 H+ to make one full turn

29
Q

How much ATP does one full turn make?

A

3 ATP

30
Q

What is the max yield of aerobic respiration per glucose?

A

Q

What is the maximum ATP yield from oxidative phosphorylation?

A

34 ATP

32
Q

What happens to the TCA cycle when there is no oxygen?

A

It starts fermentation

33
Q

What happens for oxidative phosphorylation in the absence of oxygen?

A

No proton gradient can be pumped, it stops

34
Q

What does an uncoupled do?

A

Gives H+ another way to get in which decreases ATP synthesis but increases O2 consumption and oxidation of NADH and FADH2

35
Q

Where does electron transport and the proton pump occur in prokaryotes?

A

Plasma membrane

36
Q

Why is glucose a good source of free energy?

A

It is a highly exergonic process

37
Q

How many carbons are in a pyruvate?

A

3 carbons

38

2 G3P + 2 ADP

40
Q

What do kinases do?

A

Transfer Pi’s of course

41
Q

What does the second phase of glycolysis generate?

A

NADH and ATP

42
Q

What is the equation of the second phase of glycolysis?

43
Q

Is NAD+ an electron acceptor or donator?

A

Acceptor

44
Q

What is NADH?

A

A coenzyme that REDUCES other compounds which means it DONATES electrons

Q

What does the third phase of glycolysis generate?

A

Pyruvate and ATP

Q

What is the equation of the third phase of glycolysis?

A

3 PG + ADP -> Pyruvate + ATP
