BS 161 Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Citric Acid Cycle, Oxidative Phosphorylation, Intermembrane Space
Document Summary
Out: 2 pyruvate, 2 atp, 2 nadh. Out: 2 co2, 2 acetyl-coa, 2 nadh. Out: 4 co3 2 atp, 6 nadh, 2 fadh2. Matrix = pyruvate oxidation and krebs cycle. One nadh can make 2. 5 atps: explain how the exergonic transfer of electrons down the electron transport chain is coupled to the endergonic production of atp by chemiosmosis. The mitochondrial potential controls atp production because atp is made by. Atp synthase: distinguish between substrate-level phosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation. In substrate-level phosphorylation, a phosphate group is transferred to adp from an enzyme substrate, in this case an organic molecule. In oxidative phosphorylation, electron carriers transport electrons released during the catabolism of organic molecules to the respiratory electron transport chain. The flow of electrons through the etc stops, mitochondrial potential decreases and the proton gradient dissipates. Without the gradient atp synthase stop: describe the flow of carbon, electrons and energy that occurs during aerobic respiration.
