Ox Phos Flashcards
ETC oxidizes
NADH & FADH2
ETC donates electrons to
O2
energy from O2 reduction is used by
ATP synthase to phosphorylate ADP to ATP
complex I
NADH acceptor
name of complex I
NADH dehydrogenase
draw out the four complexes and pathway
pg 4
CoQ transfers electrons to
cytochrome c
cytochrome c carries electrons to
complex IV
complex IV will reduce
O2 to water
in ox phos energy from NADH and FADH2 is used to make
ATP
draw out the four complexes and pathway
pg 4
what determines flow of electrons
reduction
electrons are transferred from low to
higher energy
for a negative delta G, need what E
positive
Delta E =?
E acceptor - E donor (pg 5)
the one that will acquire electrons is one with highest
reduction potential
Complex I has noncovalently bound
flavin mononucleotide
FMN stands for
flavin mononucleotide
FMN accepts
two electrons from NADH
in complex I Several iron-sulfur centers pass
one electron at a time toward the ubiquinone binding site.
draw out the Q cycle**
pg 10
which complex has cytochrome c
complex IV
what has more energy NADH or FADH
NADH - it has more substance/meat than FADH
what is ultimately driving the synthesis of ATP
the energy from the proton-motive force
there’s more H+ outside the inner membrane than inside
translocation of how many protons fuels synthesis of one ATP
3
overal Delta G of oxidation of NADH to O2
-53 kcal/mol
overall delta G of oxidation of FADH2 to O2
-41 kcal/mol
each NADH yields how many ATP
2.5
what happens to the energy that isn’t used by ox phos
heat - this is important to keep us warm
if we need energy, like when we exercise
Ox phos will increase
at rest, what happens to ATP hydrolysis, ADP, and proton influx
they all decrease
at rest, what happens to electorchemical gradient
increases
at rest, what happens to NADH and FADH2
they are not oxidized and inhibit enzymes that generate them
even with rapid muscle contraction, ATP levels
only drop 20%
when we exercise, what happens to calcium levels in cell
it allows contraction of muscle but also revs up making ATP
when we exercise we have connection b/w CNS, motor neurons and neuromuscular junction, in the process of the transition we use what as a way to depol the cell
calcium
creatine does what
phosphorylated to produce
