Electron Transport Chain Flashcards
Electron Transport Train
- Happens on the Mitochondria Matrix membrane
- It pumps H+ from the matrix of the Mitochondria to the inner-membrane space against the gradient
Where does NADH enter the Electron Transport Chain?
The 1st Protein
Where does FADH2 enter the Electron Transport Chain?
The 2nd Protein
What does the last protein in the Electron Transport Chain produce?
Water
What is the last electron exceptor in the Electron Transport Chain?
Oxygen
ATP Synthase / Chemiosmosis
H+ ions in the inner membrane space of the Mitochondria power this and it creates ATP
Net ATP from 1 NADH in the Electron Transport Chain?
3 ATP
Net ATP from 1 FADH2 in the Electron Transport Chain?
2 ATP
Total ATP from 1 Glucose through Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain
36 ATP
