Document Summary

Only 4 atp molecules are synthesized directly from oxidation of glucose to co2. Most atp are actually made when nadh and fadh2 (formed as glucose degraded) are oxidized in the etc (atp mostly made in the etc by electron carriers) Etc in prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea: located in the plasma membrane. Under conditions where there is oxygen it uses aerobic respiration. Contains similar carriers and transport mechanism as mitochondria/eukaryotes. Have a very short etc (only contains 4 electron carriers and no fadh2) Can use carbon molecules instead of glucose. Protons are transported to periplasmic space as opposed to the mitochondrial membrane. Contains different cytochromes used than in the mitochondrial/eukaryotic etc. Electrons go to upper branch of etc when there are low levels of oxygen. Electrons go to lower branch of etc when there are high levels of oxygen. More atp is produced because o2 is used. Oxidative phosphorylation- when atp is synthesized by the etc.

Can you answer the following questions:

1. Carbon monoxide is considered toxic because it acts on Complex IV. How would the addition of carbon monoxide to actively respiring mitochondria affect the relative oxidation-reduction states of all components of the electron-transport chain?

A) All four complexes would remain oxidized because they function as a multisystem complex.

B) Complexes I and III would be reduced, but complexes II and IV would be oxidized because the

electrons come from FADH2 oxidation, not NADH.

C) Complexes I, II, and III would be oxidized but Complex IV would remain reduced.

D) Complexes I, II, and III would be reduced and Complex IV would be oxidized.

E) All four complexes would remain reduced because they function as a multisystem complex.

2. Electrons are not very soluble in hydrophobic environments such as a bilipid membrane. What evidence is there that electrons move from complex to complex through the lipid membrane?

A) Cytochrome C is the electron carrier in the membrane and undergoes a head-over-heel flip to set up the proton gradient.

B) Cytochrome C is the electron carrier in the membrane and contains a cydrophoric porphyrin center.

C) CoQ is the electron carrier within the membrane and seems to be confined to the respirasome.

D) CoQ is the electron carrier within the membrane and it contains a hydrophobic porphyrin center.

E) FeS clusters are the carriers within the membrane and the electrons move from one cluster to the

next in a chain-like fashion.

3. What is the rationale for saying that âelectrons flow down the electron-transport chainâ?

A) Electrons flow from oxidized carriers to reduced carriers in discrete steps like a staircase.

B) Electrons flow from half-reactions with more positive redox potentials to more negative.

C) Electrons flow from reactions that continuously generate negative free energy values.

D) Electrons flow from the outer surface to the inner surface, a top down perception.

E) Because we think of electrons flowing like a liquid, the only direction electrons can flow is down.
