Document Summary
Coenzyme q and cytochrome c act as electron carriers from and to the electron transport protein complexes, all the way to the final acceptor, an oxygen molecule, which co2 is the final product. False, everything is correct except for that h2o is supposed to be the final product, not co2. Pyruvate is transported from the cytosol into the mitochondrial matrix through a protein transporter in the mitochondrial wall, to lose a carbon dioxide molecule, and unite with coenzyme a for the formation of acetyl-coa. Non-reducing ends of a glycogen chain dis-allow further elongation of the chain. In the absence of oxygen, it is said a cell cannot breathe, the biochemical implication of which is that the electron transport chain stops generating an electron gradient that is used in producing atp by the atp synthase. False, the electron transport chain gets backed up since o2 cannot accept it.
