Oxidative Phosphorylation Flashcards
What is the ΔG needed to create ATP?
+7.3 kcal/mol
This is a mitochondrial mechanism that creates ATP by passing electrons along a system of carriers.
Electron transport chain
Where does the electron transport chain take place?
Inner mitochondrial membrane
Where does the electron transport chain receive its electrons?
Macronutrient oxidation
How is a proton gradient created through the electron transport chain?
By the passing of electrons
What is the product of the electron transport chain when utilizing the created proton gradient?
ATP
This term refers to the electron transport system coupled with the synthesis of ATP.
Oxidative phosphorylation
This mitochondrial membrane is porous and permeable to most ions and small molecules.
Outer mitochondrial membrane
This mitochondrial membrane is convoluted, impermeable to most small ions and small molecules, and rich in integral proteins.
Inner mitochondrial membrane
