ETC Flashcards
Where does the ETC get electrons from
NADH and FADH2
ETC transfers electors from [low/high] to [low/high] electron affinity
ETC transfers electors from low to high electron affinity
What gradient is formed in the ETC
chemiosmotic or electrochemical gradient
What role does CoQ have in the ETC
helps link complexes I and II to complex III
what complex dehydrogenates NADH
Complex 1
what enzyme removes the Hydrogen from NAHD
NADH dehydrogenase
Name 4 electron carries within the complexes
Iron (Fe+3–> Fe+2)
Copper (Cu+1 –> Cu+2)
Riboflavin (FMN –> FMNH2)
Quinone (Q–> QH2)
what is another name for riboflavin
B2
what 2 roles does Complex I do
- accept NADH + donates e- to CoQ
- use e- energy to pump H+ into intermembrane space
What 1 role does complex II do
accept e- from FADH2 and donates to CoQ
What is another name for Complex II
succinate dehydrogenase
Which has more energy? NADH or FADH2
NADH as can pump H+ into intermembrane space
CoQ role
no contribution to H pumping
connects complexes
what is another name for CoQ
coenzyme Q10 or ubiquinone
Complex III role
accept e- from CoQ and donate to cytochrome c
Pump H+ into intermembrane space
