Document Summary

The direcion of the reacion is based on how negaive the free energy is ( g= -nfe: what are atp and nadh. Also be able to arrange complexes in a transport chain based up on their redox reacions. Beter electron donors begin the electron transport chain, and as the chain coninues, the molecules become beter and beter electron acceptors, ending oxidaive phosphorylaion with oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor. Photophosphorylaion has the same patern but doesn"t necessarily end with oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor. The electron transport chain is what generates the proton gradient to go through atp synthase: deine fermentaion. Fermentaion is a method of catabolism in which organic molecules serve as both electron donor and acceptors; energy is generated through the process of substrate level phosphorylaion: be able to recognize a substrate-level phosphorylaion. Give examples of terminal electron acceptors in fermentaion.
