π Unit 5: Glucose Catabolism - Electron Transport Chain Flashcards
1
Q
Electron Transport Chain
A
series of reactions to form ATP
2
Q
Where does the ETC occur?
A
Mitochondria
3
Q
What are the ETC electron donors?
A
- NADH+, FADH2
4
Q
Whatβs pumped into the intermitochondrial space?
A
H+ ions
5
Q
What do H+ ions do when they move back into the matrix?
A
form ATP from ADP and P
5
Q
ATP Synthase
A
enzyme that catalyzes the formation of ATP
6
Q
Whats the final electron acceptor in ETC?
A
O2 which forms H2O
7
Q
Membrane Potential
A
H+ ions accumulate and cause concentration difference between intermitochondrial space and matrix
