EXAM 3: OXPHO Flashcards
carbs, lipids, amino acids are the main…
reduced fuels for the cell
in oxidative phosphorylation,
energy from NADH and FADH2 are used to make ATP
if a prokaryote lives in an oxygenate environment,
oxidative phosphorylation can be done using the plasma membrane
energy of oxidation is used to
phosphorylate ADP
chemiosmotic theory
series of energy translations that results in energy for phosphorylation of ADP
energy released by electron transport…
is used to transport protons against the electrochemical gradient
favorable redox reactions are used to make this gradient
energy needed to phosphorylate ADP is provided by the
flow of protons down the electrochemical gradient
not result of a direct reaction
bacteria
plasma membrane
mitochondria
inner membrane
chloroplasts
thylakoid membrane
four distinct compartments of double membrane
outer
IMS
inner membrane
matrix
Outer membrane
relatively porous membrane, allows passage of metabolites
IMS
similar to cytosol; higher proton concentration, lower pH
inner membrane
relatively impermeable, proton gradient across it
location of electron transport chain complexes (including succinate dehydrogenase as part of Complex II)
infolding of membrane produces cristae - serves to increase surface area
matrix
location of CAC and parts of lipid and amino acid metabolism
lower proton concentration, higher pH
electron transport chain complexes
each complex (4) have multiple redox centers with:
FMN/FAD
cytochromes a,b,or c
iron-sulfur clusters and heme groups
Cu centers and FeCu centers
FMN / FAD
FMN: complex 1
FAD: complex 2
initial electron acceptors
can carry two electrons but transfer one at a time
iron-sulfur centers
one electron carriers
coordinated by stationary cysteines in the protein
contain variable numbers of iron and sulfur atoms; multiple ions, multiple transfers
cytochromes
proteins or subunits of complexes containing heme prosthetic groups
one electron carriers
iron coordinating porphoryin ring derivatives ring determines cytochrome type)
can be mobile or stationary
coenzyme Q
ubiquinone
ubiquinone
lipid-soluble conjugated dicarbonyl compound that readily accepts electrons
transfer 1 or 2 electrons at a time
upon accepting 2 electrons, picks up two H+ —> ubiquinol
ubiquinol
can freely diffuse in the membrane, carrying electrons with protons
mobile electron carrier transporting electrons from Complex 1 or 2 to 3
ubiquinone
Q
oxidized, hydrophobic tail in membrane
ubiquinol
QH2
fully reduced
