Q

Function of the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation

A
  1. Create a proton gradient across inner mitochondrial membrane
  2. Proton gradient then drives phosphorylation of ADP to ATP
  3. Generate electrical energy by passing electrons to oxygen
17
Q

What are the five complexes of the Electron Transport Chain

A

Complex 1: NADH dehydrogenase complex
Complex 2: Succinate dehydrogenase complex
Complex 3: Cytochrome b and c1
Complex 4: Cytochrome oxidase complex-transported electrons, molecular oxygen and free protons are brought together to produce H20
Complex 5: ATP synthase complex-accepts or donates electrons to mobile carriers like CoQ and Cyt C
