Cellular Respiration PT2 Flashcards
1
Q
NADH and FADH2 connection to electron transport chain
A
NADH and FADH2 relay electrons extracted from food to the electron transport chain
2
Q
Where does most energy come from
A
10 NADHs, 2 FADH
3
Q
what is the electron transport chain
A
Series of molecules embedded inner mitochondrial membrane
4
Q
what is ETC
A
breaks energy freefall. from food or oxygen
5
Q
what is an exergonic reaction
A
transfer involves oxidation of the original carrier protein and reduction of receiver
6
Q
Oxygens component
A
drives downfall of electrons through ETC
7
Q
what is the energy coupling mechanism
A
chemiosmosis, drives movement t of H+ from mitochondrial matrix to inter-membrane space
8
Q
Phosphorylation of ATP process
A
ATP use exergonic flow of H+
9
Q
Movement steps of H+
A
1-H+ ions flow down their gradient through the stator 2.- Each H+ enters a binding site in the rotor, changing the shape of each subunit 3. -Each H+ makes 1 full turn before leaving through a channel into the mitochondrial matrix. 4. -Turning rotor, turns the rod, which is attached to the catalytic knob. 5.-Turn the rod activates catalytic sites in the knob that turn ADP + Piinto ATP!
