oxidative phosphorylation<3 Flashcards
1
Q
how do we survive with so little ATP
A
recycle it
2
Q
how do we recycle ATP
A
oxidative phosphorylation
3
Q
what happens in oxidative phosphorylation
A
e- from NADH and FADH2 are used to reduce molecule O2 to water. the e- are transported in an e- transport chain
4
Q
how are e- transferred from NADH to O2
A
through a chain of 3 large protein complexes
5
Q
complex now is
A
NADH-Q oxidoreductase
6
Q
complex 2 is
A
Q-cytochrome e oxidoreductase
7
Q
complex 3 is
A
cytochrome e oxidase
8
Q
what are the three protein complexes
A
supramolecular complex RESPIRASOME
