Expeeiment 7 Flashcards
1
Q
Components of electrons that that ferry NADH and FADH2
A
- Membrane soluble e carrier
- Water soluble e carrier
Note: each component has different redox potential that determine path by which electrons flow
2
Q
Cytochrome c (comepont/ description )
A
- water soluble - loosely associated with outer surface of inner mitochondrial membrane
- shuttles electrons in ETC complex 3 and 4( produces ATP- electrons going to oxygen )
- mechanism: iron group that can be 2+ and 3+
3
Q
Determine midpoint redox potential
A
- c 2+ and c 3+ absorb light diff Renton = relative concentrations
4
Q
Overall reaction
A
Cyt 2+ + Fi3- -> cyt c 3+ + Fo4-
