Document Summary

Chapter 19: oxidative phosphorylation (also etc same thing) Importance: promote e- flow through membrane bound carriers, use electron flow to transport protons against their gradient, flow protons across a membrane with its gradient to make atp, know name of complex and which have what prosthetic group. Iron sulfur center in complex 1,2, and 3. Has alpha and beta subunits in it: beta bind atp, adp and pi directly, rotational catalysis model. Chapter 20: photophosphorylation: photosynthesis - 2 phases. Chapter 21: lipid synthesis anabolic: malonyl-coa synthesis, rate limiting step = acetyl coa carboxylase, use biotin prosthetic group, covalently attached to lys. Fa synthesis strategy: adding acetyl coa and malonyl coa. That"s where get 4 carbon backbone: require fa synthase. First step: condensation: activate malonyl coa, nadph coming in to reduce. Lose hydroxyl and proton and add double bond. Fa elongation system: palmitate add 2c at a time.

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.

10.It iis evident fromt eh net equation fo the TCA cycle that the primary products of the pathway are the reduced coenzymes _____.

11. Complex III catalyzes the transfer of electrons from ___ to ___.

12. The passage of a pair of electrons from NADH to ubiquinone in the respiratory chain is accompanied by movement of roughly four protons from (the) ___ to (the) ___.

13. When NADH is the electron donor, electrons pass the respiratory chain by means of ____.

14. The matrix of the mitochondrion has a gel-like consistency owing to the presence of a high conentration of _____.

These are questions I missed on a quiz the instructor does not post what the answers should be and has not responded to my emails please help.

Thanks,
