16
Q

Where does the electron taken from NADH go in complex I?

A

Ubiquinone

17
Q

What electron carrier moves from complex III to complex IV?

A

Cytochrome C

18
Q

What two complexes introduce electrons in the ETC?

A

Complex I

Complex II

19
Q

What is the Q cycle?

A

It is found in Complex III

Ubiquinone moves electrons to cytochrome c

20
Q

What happens in the Q cycle?

A

The ubiquinone releases one electron onto cytochrome c and keeps one to become a free radical

21
Q

What eventually happens to the free radical ubiquinone from the Q cycle?

A

The ubiquinone joins with another free radical ubiquinone

22
Q

What is the main function of complex III?

A

Transfer electrons to cytochome c

23
Q

What is the main function of complex IV?

A

Transports hydrogen

Reduce Oxygen

24
Q

What does the ATP synthase use to move and create ATP?

A

H+

25
Q

T/F ATP is transported out of the mitochondria

A

True

26
Q

What are two shuttle systems that allow glycolysis NADH to affect the ETC?

A

Malate-aspartate

Glycerol 3-phosphate

27
Q

Where does the malate-asparate shuttle occur?

A

Liver
Heart
Kidney

28
Q

Where does the glycerol 3-phosphate shuttle occur?

A

Brain

Skeletal Muscle

29
Q

What two conditions favor ROS formation?

A
  • Mitochondria not making ATP (Lock of O2 or ADP)

- Excess NADH
