EBIO 1210 Lecture Notes - Lecture 16: Uncoupling Protein, Electron Acceptor, Atp Synthase
Document Summary
Hemoglobin transports 2inhaled by the lungs to body cells to release energy, and carries. 2 out of the cells to the lungs for release. Hemoglobin _________ 2in the lungs and _________ 2in the muscle; the binding capacity of hemoglobin for 2is ________ in the lungs and _________ in the muscle region. To extract their high energy electrons, sugars are broken down in steps, starting with glycolysis in cytosol (=cytoplasm) Energy is extracted from c-h bonds by transfer of high energy electrons + protons to. Nadh and then into electron transport to make lots of atp (about 32 atp per glucose) High energy electrons from food are fed into the electron transport chain. Electrons give up energy while flowing through the electron transport chain; this energy is captured to energize active transport of protons from low protons in the matrix to high protons in the space between the membranes.
