Question
Answer
oxidative phosphorylation definition   the process by which energy derived from a series of oxidation/reduction reactions (that use NADH as electron donor and oxygen as ultimate electron acceptor) is used to phosphorylate ADP  
🗑
what does the matrix of the mitochondria contain   pyruvate DH, most CAC enzymes, and other enzymes  
🗑
what does the inner membrane of the mitochondria contain   electron transport system, ATP synthase complexes and specific carrier proteins called antiporters and synporters; impermeable to all molecules not carried by transporter protein  
🗑
outer membrane of mitochondria   permeable to most small molecules due to channel proteins called porins  
🗑
cristae of mitochondria   invaginations that serve to increase surface area of inner membrane  
🗑
intermembrane space   dlectrochemically distinc from matrix (because inner membrane is impermeable); electrochemically equivalent to cytosol (because of porins)  
🗑
reducing equivalent   designates a single electron equivaltent in a redox reaction  
🗑
types of redox reactions   1.direct electron transfer-transfer of e- between metal ions 2.transfer in the form of H atom-flavin linked DHs such as succinate DH 3.electron transfer in the form of hydride ion; NAD-linked DHs such as malate DH 4.replacement of CC or CH with CO,CS,CN  
🗑
standard reduction potential   a measure of a compounds propensity to donate electrons. Eo, which is measure using molecular hydrogen (H2) as the reference standard  
🗑
how is standard reduction potential measured   measuring the voltage difference between a H half cell and a half cell containing a 1M solution of the test compound and its conjugate oxidized form  
🗑
Eo<0   if test compound donates electrons more readily than H2, electrons will flow from test cell to reference cell (the voltage will be negative)  
🗑
Eo>0   test compound donates its electrons less readily than H2, electrons flow from reference cell to test cell (the voltage will be positive)  
🗑
lower Eo   the lower the Eo the greater the tendency to lose electrons  
🗑
reclinamonas   all present day mitochondria contain a subset of the genes present in reclinamonas mitochondria  
🗑
what does the ETS consist of   4 multiprotein respiratory complexes and two carriers that shuttle reducing equivalents between the complexes  
🗑
ETS complex 1 (NADH-Q oxidoreductase)   34 subunits, oxidizes NADH, reduces coenzyme A; prosthetic groups are flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and iron-sulphur (Fe-S) clusters, pumps 4 protons  
🗑
ETC complex 2 (Succinate-Q reductase)   4 subunits, oxidizes succinate, reduces Q, prosthetic groups are flavin adenin dinucleotide (FAD) and FE-S clusters, does not pump protons  
🗑
ETS complex 3 (Q-cytochrome c oxidoreductase)   10 subunits, oxidizes Q, reduces cytochrome; prosthetic groups are Fe-S clusters, Q, and hemes bH, bL and c1 (Fe-containing porphorin rings) pumps 2 protons  
🗑
ETS complex 4 (Cytochrome c oxidatase)   10 subunits, oxidizes CytC, reduces 02; prosthetic groups are hemes a and a3 and copper-containing porpherin rings CuA and CuB, pumps 4 protons  
🗑
Coenzyme Q   hydrophobic compound that diffuses freely in lipid bilayer, fully reduced form (QH2) carries 2 reducing equivalents, shuttles reducing equivalents from complex 1&2 to complex 3  
🗑
cytochrome C   small soluble protein loosely associated with cytosolic side of inner membrane; heme prosthetic group; shuttles one elctron at a time to complex 4  
🗑
ATP synthase complex   complex acts like turbine, a,b2, sigma, alpha and beta subunit stationary, and the co ring and attached gamma and epsilon subunits rotate  
🗑
what does the beta subunit bind   adenine nucleotides, has ATPase activity and is the site of ATP synthesis  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
