oxidative phospylation

Question 1

what is OP consist off

Answer 1

ET and atp synthesis

Question 2

what is OP

Answer 2

where cells utilize oxygen to produce ATP it also involves a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions that transfer electrons along the electron transport chain

Question 3

How is energy released converted to ATP?

Answer 3

The chemiosmotic hypothesis – Electron transport and ATP synthesis coupled by a proton gradient

Question 4

chesmeosmotic hypothesis

Answer 4

synthesis of ATP is driven by a proton gradient across a membrane, typically the inner mitochondrial membrane

Question 5

OP 1/6

Answer 5

Electrons are transferred from NADH and FADH2, produced during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, to the electron transport chain located in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Question 6

how is the proton graident establoshed in the chesomotic theory?

Answer 6

This proton gradient is established by the pumping of protons across the membrane by complexes in the electron transport chain. As protons flow back across the membrane through ATP synthase, their energy is used to drive the phosphorylation of ADP to ATP

Question 6

OP 2/6

Answer 6

lectrons move through a series of protein complexes (Complex I, II, III, and IV) in the electron transport chain. As electrons pass through these complexes, energy is released and used to pump protons (H+) from the mitochondrial matrix across the inner mitochondrial membrane into the intermembrane space.

Question 7

3/6

Answer 7

The pumping of protons establishes a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, with a higher concentration of protons in the intermembrane space compared to the mitochondrial matrix.

Question 8

OP 4/6

Answer 8

Protons flow back into the mitochondrial matrix through ATP synthase, a protein complex embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. This flow of protons provides the energy needed to activate ATP synthase.

Question 9

OP 5/6

Answer 9

ATP synthase utilizes the energy from the proton flow to catalyze the phosphorylation of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to form adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This process is known as chemiosmotic phosphorylation

Question 10

OP 6/6

Answer 10

Molecular oxygen (O2) serves as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, combining with electrons and protons to form water (H2O).

Question 11

what is a proton motive force

Answer 11

protons (h+) pumped out of the matrix

Question 12

what is the evidence to support the chemisosmotic hypothesis/

Answer 12

A proton gradient can be measured
ATP synthesised if gradient created

Answer 13

glycolsis- 2
citric acid cycle- 2
