oxidative phosphorylation Flashcards
what is Oxidative phosphorylation
Oxidative phosphorylation is a cellular process that harnesses the reduction of oxygen to generate high-energy phosphate bonds in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Identify and rank electron affinity of the 6 mitochondrial
electron carriers
Nicotinamide(NAD+)<Flavins(FAD+)<Iron-sulfur centers<ubiquinone(Q)<cytochromes<copper centers
where can we get nicotinamide
VB3,
what’s the abbrvation for nicotinamide?

Complex II (e from CAC)
how is NADH made in cytosol
During glycolysis, malate-aspartate shuttle moves electrons into matrix
net reaction of NADH dehydrogenase (complex I)
