Document Summary

What evolved first- glycolysis or the electron transport chain? a)glycolysis b)electron transport chain c)they must have evolved simultaneously. Gluconeogenesis reverses glycolysis, but is not glycolysis in reverse. Cells store food molecules to prepare for periods of need. Glycolysis and citric acid cycle provide precursors for synthesis of molecules. Mitochondria are located near sites of high atp utilization. Electron-transport chains pumps protons across inner mitochondrial membrane. Citric acid cycle in the mitochondrial matrix generates high-energy electrons. Nadh donates its electrons to the electron-transport chain. High-energy electrons, generated during the citric acid cycle, power atp production. How do electrons drive the movement of protons across the mitochondrial membrane? a)they create a negative electric field b)they oppose the proton gradient c)they cause a conformational shift in proteins d)they transmit electricity. Electron carrier causes conformational changes that drive proton pump. Electrons removed from a molecule (oxidized) are passed to another molecule (reduced) Nadh strong e- donor, nad+ weak e- acceptor.
