OxPhos is the major process for formation
of what?
|
OxPhos is major process for formation of
ATP in most cells
|
OxPhos is divided into 2 processes. what
are they?
|
(1) exergonic electron transport from
NADH + H and FADH2 to O2 via
intermediate carriers
(2) endergonic syn of ATP
|
______ is the terminal electron acceptor to yield _____
|
O2 is the terminal electron acceptor to yield H2O
|
What are the 2 waste products of cellular respiration?
|
CO2 and H2O
|
Where are electrons passed thru redox carriers?
|
Inner mitochondrial membrane
|
As electrons pass thru redox carriers in the inner mitochondrial membrane, what happens to protons?
|
They move outward, creating a gradient. re-entry of protons thru pore in ATP synthase drives ATP syn
|
What are the 2 components of OxPhos regulation?
|
(1) energy need
(2) availability of ADP & Pi
|
Describe permeabilities of the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes
|
Outer membrane: permeable to anions & small molecules
inner membrane: impermeable to almost everything
|
What 2 things are embedded in teh inner mitochondrial membrane?
|
(1) protein complexes/ electron carriers
(2) ATP synthase (projects inot matrix to generate ATP)
|
Is the ETC energetically favorable or unfavorable? how many ATP molecules are syn'd from NADH?
|
Energetically FAVORABLE
3 ATP molecules are syn'd
|
Name the 6 enzymes & electron carriers of ETC
|
(1) NADH DHD
(2) Coenzyme Q (3) Complex II (4) Cytochrome b-c1 (5) cytochrome c (6) cytochrome oxidase (complex IV) |
Describe NADH DHD (related complex, components, what do components accept?)
|
(1)NADH DHD is a huge complex (COMPLEX I)
(2) has FMN + Fe-S centers
(3) FMN accepts e's from NADH and sends them to Fe-S centers
(4)NADH oxidized to NAD
|
What happens to teh electrons that were passes to Fe-S centers by FMN in complex I?
|
They are given to coenzyme Q
|
What is significant about CoQ?
|
It is NOT protein bound, so it is freely moveable
(2) diffuses thru lipids of inner mitoch membrane
(3) red/ox of CoQ associated with transmembrane movement, this is part of proton pumping
|
Complex II conencts what to what?
|
Complex II (succindate DHD) connects respiratory chain of inner mitoch membrane with TCA cycle enzymes in mitochondrial matrix
