W5- Lecture 17 -Introduction to cellular energy metabolism Flashcards
1
Q
name the two reducing equivalents produced during respiration
A
NADPH
FADH2
2
Q
write the equation NAD+ reduction
A
NAD+ + :H- + H+ = NADH + H+
3
Q
write the equation for FAD reduction
A
FAD + e- + H+ = FADH’
FADH’ + e- + H+ = FADH2
4
Q
what enzymes are said to make NADH and FADH2
A
dehydrogenases (oxidoreductases )
5
Q
what happens is
delta G is postive
A
the reaction will not tend to spontaneity/ will not take place
6
Q
what happens is
delta G is 0
A
the reaction is effectively at equilibrium
7
Q
hat happens is
delta G is negative
A
the reaction is effectively at equilibrium/ will take place
