oxidative phosphorylation Flashcards
1
Q
oxy phos:
NADH —>
FADH —>
A
NADH –> e- + H+ + NAD
FADH –> e- + H+ + FAD
2
Q
stages of oxidative phosphorylation
A
- electrons released from reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH
- electrons flow along the electron transfer chain in series of redox reactions
- electrons release energy which is used to join:
ADP + Pi —> ATP - oxygen is the final electron acceptor : it combines with e- and H+ to form water
3
Q
where does oxidative phosphorylation occur
A
inside the mitochondria
