Electrom Translort Chain Flashcards
1
Q
1
A
•the chain is in the inner mitochondrial membrane in the mitochondria
2
Q
2
A
•it is made up of proteins called electron acceptors which are attached to the membrane
3
Q
3
A
NADH and FADH release high energy electrons into the chain
4
Q
4
A
High energy electrons pass onto the electron acceptors and release energy
5
Q
5
A
This energy is then used to pump hydrogen ions along the inner mitochondrial membrane
6
Q
6
A
The return of hydrogen ions to the matrix drives ATP synthase to syntheses ATP from ADP+Pi
7
Q
7
A
This stage generates the most amount of energy in respiration
8
Q
8!
A
Oxygen is the final receptor of electrons and hydrogen ions from water
