I. Oxidative Phosphorylation

Question 0

From here?

Answer 0

the electrons move from one carrier to another in the chain. Occurs from a carrier with less electronegativity to a carrier that has more EN.
Spontaneous downhill reaction

Question 1

NADH and FADH

Answer 1

Deliver the electrons and H+ to the transmembrane proteins. Most of them are called cytochromes

Question 2

The final terminal electron acceptor is?

Answer 2

Oxygen

As oxygen receives the electrons and combine with 2 H+ a molecule of water is formed

Question 3

The free energy released from electron transport chain (ETC) is used to power?

Answer 3

Proton pumps embedded in the Cristae to pump protons out of the matrix into the inter membrane space

Question 4

This creates?

Answer 4

An electrochemical gradient called proton motive force. Source of potential energy to power the chemiosmosis that will follow

Question 5

Chemiosmosis

Answer 5

The protons flow back through the Cristae to relieve the proton motive force gradient through a channel enzyme/protein called ATP syntase

Question 6

ATP syntase

Answer 6

Harnesses the proton-motive force energy to phosphorylate ADP to form ATP
