ETC Flashcards
1
Q
ETC
where is the ETC?
A
-mitochondrial membrane
2
Q
ETC
5 major components?
A
- NADH dehydrogenase
- succinate dehydrogenase
- cytochrome BC1 complex
- cytochrome oxidase
- oxygen
3
Q
ETC
mobile electron carries?
A
- 2
- UQ
- Cyt C
4
Q
ETC
step 1?
A
- proteins set up in increasing electronegativity
- first component, weak electron acceptor
- last component, strong electron acceptor
5
Q
ETC
step 2?
A
- electrons passed along components along membrane
- NADH binds to NADH dehydrogenase
- FADH2 binds to succinate dehydrogenase(2nd component)
- H+ pumped into inter membrane space
- UQ carries electrons from NADH dehydrogenase to BC1
- Cyt C carries electrons from BC1 to cytochrome oxidase
6
Q
ETC important terms: Chemiosmosis? Mobile electron carrier? Electron carriers?
A
- production of ATP
- movement of ions from high concentration to low concentration through membrane protein
- results in release of hydrogen
- carry electrons between proteins in inner membrane of mitochondria
- UQ and Cyt C, carry electrons they receive through oxidation of glucose
