Cards

Term
What type of phosphorylation does the ETC enable?
Definition
oxidative phosphorylation
Term
Where does oxidative phosphorylation occur?
Definition
In the mitochondria
Term
How are NADH and FADH2 involved in the production of ATP?
Definition
Oxidation of these molecules releases lots of energy to synthesize ATP. Their reducing equivalents are passed along a series of electron acceptors.
Term
How are the electron acceptors of the ETC organized?
Definition
In order of increasing reduction potential
Term
How many complexes are there in the ETC and what are their function?
Definition
4 complexes
-they catalyze the transfer of electrons from one molecule to another
Term
What enzyme is found at Complex IV?
Definition
cytochrome oxidase
Term
What enzyme is found at complex III?
Definition
cytochrome C reductase
Term
What enzyme is found at complex II?
Definition
succinate dehydrogenase
Term
What enzyme is found at complex I?
Definition
NADH dehydrogenase
