Terminal Respiration Flashcards
What is the function of the the Citric Acid cycle?
Acts as the common metabolic process for all fuel molecules
Where does the citric acid cycle occur?
Mitochondrial matrix
How is ATP formed form the Citric acid cycle?
Electrons are passed onto NADH and FADH2
What is the final stage of respiration?
The electron transport chain
What does ubiquinone become when electrons are passed to it?
Ubiquinol
What does NADH-Q oxidoreductase reduce?
NADH
What happens in stage 3 of the electron transport chain?
Electrons are passed from ubiquinol to cytochrome c
ADP uses released energy to make ATP using what mechanism?
Binding change mechanism
Where are protons produced in the electron transport chain pumped to?
The intermembraneous space of the mitochondria
When can ATP synthesis become uncoupled from the ETC?
When the inner mitochondrial membrane becomes permeable to protons
What is the name given to when protons move into the intermembraneous space?
Chemiosmosis
What is the name of complex 1 of the electron transport chain?
NADH-Q oxidoreductase
What is the name of complex 3 of the electron transport chain?
Q-cytochrome c oxidoreductase
What is the name of complex 2 of the electron transport chain?
Succinate-Q reductase
What is the name of complex 4 of the electron transport chain?
Cytochrome c oxidase
