Document Summary

Topic 11: oxidative phosphorylation: it is exhaled as part of co2, it becomes part of newly formed h2o. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain: it is used to reduce nad+ to nadh. Oxygen is a good oxidizing agent, not a good reducing agent: both a and b, both b and c. In the citric acid cycle, 2 c are oxidized to co2 and the 4 pairs of e- reduce 3 nad+ and 1. Electrons carried by nadh and fadh2 are delivered to o2 through many intermediates in the electron transport chain, the components of which are embedded in or associated with the inner mitochondrial membrane. The energy released by these oxidation/reduction reactions is used to pump h+ out of the matrix in to the intermembrane space. Electrochemical gradient established used to synthesize atp. Oxidative phosphorylation process of transferring electrons from one carrier to another to form atp.
