Document Summary

7. 5 electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation. Energy in electron carriers (nadh, fadh2) is released in series of redox reactions: occur when electrons pass through chain of protein complexes in inner mitochondrial membrane to final electron acceptor (oxygen) Energy released by redox reactions is not converted directly into chemical energy of atp. Passage of electrons is coupled to transfer protons (h+) across inner mitochondrial membrane, creating concentration and charge gradient: provides source of potential energy that is used to drive synthesis of atp. Electron transport chain transfers electrons and pumps protons. Electrons donated by nadh and fadh2 are transported along series of four large protein complexes that form electron transport chain (complexes i to iv: these membrane proteins are embedded in mitochondrial inner membrane. Highest concentration of proteins found in eukaryotic membranes. O2 + 4e- + 4h+ 2h2o. Electrons must also be transported between four complexes: coenzyme q (coq), also called ubiquinone, accepts electrons and protons from both complexes.
