BICH EXAM 2: Electron transport and Oxidative Phosphorylation

1.

Electron transport is when electrons are carried by reduced coenzyme (NADH and FADH2) are passed through a _______ and conenzymes to drive the generation of a proton gradient across the _________

-chain of proteins

- inner mitochondrial membrane

2.

The proton gradient drives the synthesis of ATP

Oxidative phosphorylation

3.

The complexes allow for the flow of

electrons through these complexes

4.

(Δℰo‘ = ℰo‘ (acceptor) - ℰo‘(donor)) .

-Acceptors are located above the chart and accept electrons (more + numbers)

- Donors are located below the chart and donate electrons

(more - numbers)

5.

Complex 1 makes

4 H+

6.

Complex 3 makes

4 H+

7.

Complex 4 makes

2 H+

PLZZZ

9.

Complex I: NADH-UQ reductase

NADH-coenzyme Q oxidoreductase pumps

4 H+ across mitochondria inner membrane

10.

Complex 1 is reduced by_____, and oxidized by______

- NADH

-Coenyme Q

11.

Ubiquinone contains no

electrons

12.

Ubisemiquinone contains

1 electron

13.

Ubiquinol contains

all 2 electrons

14.

Complex 1 transports H+ from

matrix to cytosol

15.

__H+ are transported from the matrix across the _____membrane to the cytosolic side

-4

-inner

16.

Is a component of e- transport complex 2

Succinate DH

17.

Complex 2 utilized Fe-S clusters and hemes to move electrons from

reduced FADH2 to W, forming QH2

18.

No proton transport occurs at complex 2 as electrons are

passed from succinate to QH2

19.

Starts at coenzyme Q and ends at cytochrome C oxidoreductase

-complex 3

20.

Complex 3 results in QH2 is _____, and ______by Cyt C.

-reduced

-oxidized

21.

In complex 3, QH2_____electrons, and Cyt C_____electrons from complex 3.

-bringing

-taking

22.

CoQ passes electrons to cyt c in a redox cycle known as

Q cycle

23.

The principle transmembrane in complex 3 is the

b cytochromes- with heme bL and bH

24.

The path electrons take through complex 3

Q cycle

25.

1. UQH2-> Rieske Fe-S-> Cyt C (release 2H+, leaves UQ)

2. 1e- transferred from UQ. to bL heme then to bH heme

Oxidation process occurs in these 2 steps (first half)

26.

1. 2nd UQH2 is oxidized same way as first half

2. However after electron is transferred to bh heme, it is transferred to QH.- to reform UQH2 (release 2 H+

second half of q-cycle

27.

Cytochrome c is a

mobile e- carrier

28.

Cytochrome c is the only mitochondrial cytochrome that is _____soluable, important because it shuttles electrons from complex 3 to complex 4 by _____associating with the inner mitochondrial membrane

-water

-loosely

29.

Complex 4 cytochrome C oxidase pumps

2H+ across mitochondrial inner membrane

30.

Complex 4 is reduced by____ and oxidized by______. Electron carriers are ______ and______

-Cyt C

-O2

-cytochromes and Cu

31.

Free radicals are

dangerous

32.

.OH (hydroyl) and O2.- (superoxide radicals)

Extremely reactive free radicals

33.

Complex 4 transfers electrons in ________. This shields the rest of the cell from____

-batches of 4

-reactive intermediates

34.

What is the result of the oxidation of NADH and FADH2?

-NADH-10H+ are pumped out of matrix into IMS

-FADH2-6H+ are pumped out of matrix into IMS

35.

This mechanism stores the energy of electron transport in an electrochemical potential: pH rises and matrix becomes

negatively charged as compare to cytosol

36.

Protons are highly attracted back to the interior of the matrix and the energetically favorable electrochemical

gradient drives synthesis of ATP

37.

Good summary

38.

NADH has ___ATP transport of H+

2.5

39.

FADH2 has _____ATP transport of H+

1.5

40.

H+ will be pumped from matrix to IMS if rotating

clockwise direction

41.

Rotation of the c-ring delivers protons to the outlet

half channel in the a-subunit

42.

Flow of protons through structure turns the rotor and drives cycle of conformational changes in

B that synthesize ATP

43.

Aspartic acid is buried in a ______ core, where proton cannot be released.

hydrophobic

44.

Each 120 degree rotation equal

1 ATP

45.

Each 3x120 degrees so,

3 ATPs are made

46.

KNow thissss

.....

47.

ATP must be transported out of

the mitochondria

48.

ATP is ____ and ADP is ___ in translocase

-out

-in

49.

ATP movement out is favored because the cytosol is + relative to the

- matrix

50.

So every ATP transported costs

one H+

51.

1ATP=

4H+
