ETC Flashcards
what is the major ATP generating organelle in the cell
mitochondrion
inner membrane of mitochondria sturcture
highly invaginated, high surface area
mitochondrial matrix
internal soluble compartment of the mitochondrion, bounded by inner membrane
what is the out membrane composed of
half protein, half lipis
what is inner membrane composed of
80% protein, 20% lipid
outer membrane permeability
highly permeable
inner membrane permeability
less permeable
what does the matrix contain
soluble enzyme system, PDH complex, enzymes for fatty acid beta oxiation, some urea cycle enzymes
ETs
series of chain of electron carries in inner mitochondrial membrane that funnel electrons from reduced substrates to molecule oxygen to form water
what happes to free energy in ETS
loses free energy
oxidative phosphorylation
coupling of oxidation of metabolic substrates by ETS to phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP
What proteins are in the ETS
dehydrogenases, iron containing proteins, nonheme-iron proteins
what lipids are in the ETS
coenzyme Q
what are the dehydrogenases of the ETS
succinate dehydrogenase, NADH dehydrogenase, fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogase, glycerol 2 phosphate dehydrogenase
function of NADH dehydrogase
oxidizes NADH to NAD+
function of fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase
catalyzes the intiral step in beta oxidation of fatty acids
what are the iron contain proteins in ETS
cytochromes
waht is uniwue about the iron of cytochromes
undergoes fluctuation between teh reduced and oxidized state (Fe2+, Fe3+)
