module 7- oxidative phosphorylation Flashcards
where does oxidative phosphorylation take place?
mitochondria
where does the generation of NADH & FADH2 occur?
mitochondrial matrix
where are electrons carriers located?
inner mitochondrial membrane
is the inner or outer membrane permeable to most small molecules?
outer
how does ATP get across inner membrane?
using transporters or shuttles
what does redox potential measure?
measures molecules tendency to donate or accept electrons
NADH is a strong ( ) agent and readily ( ) electrons & has ( ) E0
reducing, donates, negative
O2 is a strong ( ) agent and readily ( ) electrons & has ( ) E0
oxidizing, accepts, positive
oxidative phosphorylation depends on…
electron transfer
standard free energy change related to reduction potential reaction
ΔG°’ = -nFΔE0’
T or F: transfer of high energy electrons from NADH or FADH2 to O2 generates lots of energy
T
what is the final electron acceptor in the respiratory chain?
O2
what are the 2 products formed in the electron transport chain?
H2O & ATP
How many protons are required to synthesize one ATP molecule by oxidative phosphorylation?
3
what are 2 ROS molecules produced during electron transport
peroxide & superoxide
T or F: NADH & FADH2 cannot flow directly to O2, so they go through intermediate carriers
T
what is the electron transport chain & what happens
series of redox reactions where carriers become reduced by accepting electrons & then become oxidized as it passes electrons to next carrier
electrons flow to carriers with ( ) affinity for electrons
higher
what is the 1st electron transfer in the electron transport chain? and what does it produce?
NADH -> FMN, produces a proton gradient
how do electrons flow from NADH to O2?
through 3 complexes
how is FADH2 generated in the electron transport chain?
succinate q-reductase complex
