Oxidative Phosphorylation Flashcards
1
Q
Energy for ATP synthesis comes from oxidation of 3 main e-
donors to Electron Transport Chain (ETC) by O2.
What are They?
A
i. NADH (Reduced Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)
ii. Succinate
iii. L-3-P (Glycerol-3-phosphate)

Q
How many lipid components are in the ETC?
A
One lipid component
“Q” (Ubiquinone)
5
Q
What are ETC prosthetic groups?
A
(= helper group) are chemical groups bound to the oligomeric protein complexes of the ETC that facilitate the redox reactions by carrying the electrons
