Lesson 7 - Electron Transport Chain Flashcards
Where does the electron transport chain take place?
Mitochondrial matrix, inter-membrane space, and inner mitochondrial membrane
Names of the complexes involved in the electron transport chain
Complex I: NADH Dehydrogenase
Complex II: Succinate Dehydrogenase
Complex III: Ubiquinone-Cytochrome C Oxidoreductase
Complex IV: Cytochrome Oxidase
ATP Synthase
Cofactors
Coenzyme-Q (Ubiquinone)
Cytochrome C
What is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain?
Oxygen
How much does ATP does NADH and FADH2 produce?
1 NADH = 3 H+ = 3 ATP
1 FADH2 = 2 H+ = 2 ATP
What is the final tally of ATP production after electron transport chain has been carried out?
TCA Cycle
6 NADH
2 FADH2
2 ATP
Transition Stage
2 NADH
Glycolysis
2 NADH
Total = 36 ATP (Aerobic)
+ 2 ATP (Anaerobic)
Grand total = 38 ATP
