28
Q

how are fatty acids and sterols made from TCA?

A

from citrate

29

A

a-ketoglutarate to glutamate

30

31
Q

delta G of ETC

A

30.6 kJ/mol

32
Q

in ETC, protons are pumped from —– to ——

A

from matrix (N) to intermembrane space (P)

33
Q

COMPLEX I
- nucleotide
- Fe-S clusters
- two portions
- electron carrier
- protons pumped

A
  • flavin mononucleotide (FMN)
  • 8 clusters
  • membrane arm and peripheral arm
  • NADH
  • 4 protons pumped
34
Q

NADH passes —- e- to FMN, which are passed….

eventually end up….

and transferred to….

A

2e- to FMN

passed through Fe-S clusters

end up on coenzyme Q

QH2 travels to complex III

35
Q

COMPLEX II
- synonymous with…
- Fe-S clusters
- prosthetic group
- electron carrier
- reaction
- protons pumped

A
  • synonymous with succinate dehydrogenase
  • 3 clusters
  • heme prosthetic group
  • FADH2
  • succinate oxidized to fumarate
  • 0 protons pumped
36
Q

FADH2 passes e- to….

which travels to…

A

Q

travels to complex III

37
Q

COMPLEX III
- Fe-S clusters
- cytochromes
- protons pumped

A
  • 1 cluster
  • cyt b, cyt c, cyt c1
  • 4 protons pumped
38
Q

QH2 binds to ——–, and transfers 1 e- to—– and 1 e- to ——–

they then move to ….

A

complex III
1 e- to Fe-S, and the other to cyt b
e- from Fe-S goes to cyt c1, then to cyt c
e- from cyt b enters Q-cycle
cyt c moves to complex IV

39
Q

Q cycle occurs because…

A

there is only 1 Fe-S cluster on complex III, but there are 2 electrons to be dropped off, so for every QH2 that drops off electrons the process has to happen twice

40
Q

COMPLEX IV
- Fe-S clusters
- cytochromes
- ions present
- protons pumped

A
  • 0 clusters
  • cyt a and cyt a3
  • copper ions present
  • 2 protons pumped
41
Q

cyt c transfers e- to…..

then they are transferred to….

then to…

A

cyt a
copper
cyt a3
to O2, forming water
