Document Summary

In plants: 2 nadh dehydrogenases in membrane, 1 exposed to inter-membrane space, oxidizing of nadh, 1 exposed to matrix, alternate oxydase, prevents passage of electrons from complex ii to iii. 3. little atp synthesized: passed from ii to o2, forming water little proton motive force is built. 1. large amounts of o2 consumed: uncoupled or alternate respiration. 2. can generate heat: many chemicals can inhibit the flow of electrons in different steps. Respiratory quotient and respiratory substrates other than carbohydrates: rq = vol co2 produced / vol o2 produced, depends on substrate used for respiration, carbohydrates = 1. 0. Lipids = 0. 7: temperature has profound effect, at low temperatures fats are more used, at higher temperatures carbs are more used. If nadh from glycolysis enter, 6 more atp possible: maximum of 38 atp. Efficiency of respiration: efficiency of respiration is about 39, rest of energy liberate as heat, captured by endotherms.
