Exam 4 (Topic 20) Flashcards
Increases membrane surface
Cristae
The inner membrane of mitochondria form extensive folds
Where is the electron transport chain?
Folds of the inner membrane (cristae)
Two main stages of the ETC
- Oxidation of electron carriers and pumping of protons (down the gradient) across the membrane from the matrix to the intermembrane space
- Creation of ATP
Stage 1 and Stage 2 are two separate events but a ___________ ____________ relationship
Chemiosmotic Coupling
Refers to ATP synthesis
chemi
Refers to the movement of H+ across a membrane
Osmotic
Energy from the passage of electrons through the ETC is used to pump protons across the membrane creating a very large
Proton gradient
Protons flow back down the electrochemical gradient through
ATP synthase
Protein complex that makes ATP from ADP + Pi
ATP synthase
In the electron transport chain, protons are pumped from the ________ to the _________ to form the proton gradient.
Matrix, Intermembrane space
NADH and FADH2 are ___________ in the ETC and converted back to ____ and ______
Oxidized
NAD+ and FAD
The electrons move down the ETC and combine with O2 to make
H2O
_______________________ provides the energy to pump protons from the matrix to the intermembrane space
The passage of electrons down the ETC
Protons are going _________ their electrochemical gradient
against
________________ drives the synthesis of ATP and is called __________________
Resulting proton gradient
Oxidative phosphorylation
ETC is made up of over ____ proteins
40
Three main respiratory enzyme complexes
- NADH dehydrogenase complex
- Cytochrome b-c1 complex
- Cytochrome oxidase complex
- NADH dehydrogenase complex
- Cytochrome b-c1 complex
- Cytochrome oxidase complex
Three main respiratory enzyme complexes
ETC begins when…
hydride ion is removed from NADH
NADH becomes oxidized
What energy pumps 1 H+ from the matrix to the intermembrane space?
Two electrons are passed through the NADH dehydrogenase complex and energy is released
Electrons are passed from the NADH dehydrogenase complex to
Ubiquinone
Small lipid soluble molecule that shuttles electrons from NADH dehydrogenase complex to the cytochrome b-c1 complex
Ubiquinone
