| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| oxidative phosphorylation | two stages: electron transport chain and chemiosmosis |
| electron transport chain | use energy from electrons to make H gradient, pump H against gradient |
| chemiosmosis | flow back with gradient through ATP synthase, uses E to phosphorylate ADP to ATP |
| electron transport chain 1: | electrons from NADH flow through Cl to electron shuttle Q |
| electron transport chain 2: | CI pumps 4 H out against gradient |
| electron transport chain 3: | electron from FADH2 enter through CII to Q CII does not pump H |
| electron transport chain 4: | Q carries electron from CI or CII to CIII |
| electron transport chain 5: | CIII passes electron to cytochrome C (electron shuttle) CIII pumps 2H per electron |
| electron transport chain 6: | Cyto C carries electron to C4 C4 passes electron to oxygen to water |
| electron transport chain 7: | C4 pumps 4H out |
