Cellular Respiration 4 Oxidative Phosphorylation Flashcards
1
Q
what is the purpose of the electron transport chain
A
to use energy from electrons to move H+ ions from the mitochondria matrix to the inter membrane
2
Q
what is the purpose of ATP synthase
A
to use energy in the H+ gradient to synthesize ATP
3
Q
when the protein gradient is formed where is the high/low H+ concentrations
A
high H+ in inter membrane low H+ in the matrix
4
Q
what is the final acceptor
A
oxygen
5
Q
what are the reactants of oxidative phosphorylation
A
10 NADH 2 FADH 6 O2
6
Q
what are the products of oxidative phosphorylation
A
H2O and about 28 ATP
7
Q
where does the H+ in the proton gradient flow into
A
the inter membrane space
