OxPhos Flashcards
Most proteins in the mitochondria are encoded in the
Nucleus
Coenzyme Q is also
Ubiquinone
What is CoQ
Lipid soluble electron carrier
What does CoQ transport electrons to
From complex I and II to Complex III
What process is glucose to pyruvate
Glycolysis
Anaerobic
What does glycolysis yield
1 glucose makes 2 pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2 NADH
What is impermeable to protons
Inner mitochondrial membrane
complex I
NAD/COQ oxidoreductase
complex II
succinate dehydrogenase
Complex III
Cytochrome complex
Complex IV
Cytochrome oxidase
What makes the final 2 H2O
4 H+, 4 e-, 2 O2 molecules
What happens to the energy when electrons pass through the complexes
Energy drop of 16 kcal
Which part of the mitochondria is more acidic (lower pH)
Intermembrane space and cytosol because there’s more H+
Where is the F1 of ATP synthase
Mitochondrial matrix
What is F1
Headpiece in matrix that contains 3 ab-subunits
Each b- contains a catalytic site for enzyme
Where is F0
In inner membrane/facing intermembrane space outside
What is F0
Rotor that is attached to central shaft
12 C subunits
Each C subunit contains
Glutamyl carboxyl
carboxyl accepts proton from intermembrane space and releases one into the matrix
ATP is dependent on
H+ coming out of motor and how shaft releases an ATP
How many TOTAL ATP is produced from one molecule of glucose
Net 4ATP, 10 NADH (2-3 ATP per NADH) , 2 FADH2 (1.5 to 2 per FADH2)
= 27 to 38 ATP
Cell doesn’t need energy
ATP builds up
ADP, AMP go down
NADH goes up
Cell needs energy
ADP increases
NADH decreases
What does high NADH do
Inhibits TCA enzymes
