electron transport chain Flashcards
location
inner mitochondrial membrane
proton gradient
inner membrane»_space; matrix (wrt H+)
ATP synthase
uses H+ gradient to rotate subunits to make ATP
ETC maintains
H+ gradient
Complexes that pump H+
I, III, IV pump H+ into inner membrane
complex II
promotes H+ pumping in III and IV
H+ pumping requires
E; comes from e- exchange
complex I requires
NADH+
redox centers
pass e- from low affinity to high affinity
releases E when passed; E used to pass H+
last redox center
donates 2 e- to coenzyme Q
coenzyme Q
transports e- to III
complex II requires
FADH2
complex II different from complex I how?
does NOT use E to pump H+
complex III
2 e- pass through 2 redox centers –> cytochrome C
one e- recyclable
cytochrome C
takes electrons to complex IV
complex IV
uses 4 e- and H+ to turn O –> H2O
also pumps H+ into inner membrane
