Lecture 10 Flashcards
1
Q
what is ATP involved in
A
Energy transfer
RNA synthesis
Neurotransmission
2
Q
moving of electrons away from methane,
closer to oxygen
A
methane is oxidised
oxygen is reduced
3
Q
energy is required to pull electrons away from +nucleus so….
A
reduction electrons move towards oxygen
= release energy
4
Q
role of NADH
A
dehydrogenase enzyme removes two H atoms from glucose and transfers the 2es and 1H+ to NAD+>NADH
5
Q
ATP synthase
A
half channel, binds changes shape of rotor
after 1 turn it exit to the mitochondrial matrix
turns rod which activates catalytic sites
