Document Summary
Chemiosmotic theory (711): theory that energy derived from electron transfer reaction is temporarily stored as a transmembrane difference in charge and ph. This drives the formation of atp in oxidative phosphorylation. Respiratory chain (712): electron-transfer chain, a sequence of electron-carrying proteins that transfer electrons from substrates to molecular oxygen in aerobic cells. Flavoprotein (714): an enzyme containing a flavin nucleotide as a tightly bound prosthetic group. Reducing equivalent (714): a general term for an electron or an electron equivalent in the form of a hydrogen ion or hydride ion. Rieske iron-sulfur protein (716): a type of iron-sulfur protein in which two of the ligands to the central iron ion are his side chains; act in many electron transfer sequences like oxidative phosphorylation. Atp synthase (729): enzyme complex in the inner mitochondrial membrane in bacteria, it is the plasma membrane. It forms atp from adp & phosphate during oxidative phosphorylation. Brown adipose tissue (bat) (744): thermogenic adipose tissue rich in mitochondria.
