Question

What is the high-energy input that enters the mitochondria during aerobic (cellular) respiration? List 2 of the 3 different kinds of work that occur during the electron transport system in the mitochondria. List 2 of the 3 different kinds of thermodynamically-favorable events that occur during the electron transport system in the mitochondria. How many carbons from the original glucose molecule are broken down during the electron transport system in the mitochondria? What enzyme releases the electrons from NADH in the electron transport system? What electron transport system member donates electrons to oxygen? What is the high-energy input that starts electron transport in the mitochondria? In the images shown below, what is the unique function of the transmembrane (integral) proteins, compared to the non-transmembrane proteins, of the electron transport system in the mitochondria (i.e. what do they do that is different)?

Explanation / Answer

Answer 1. pyruvic acid enters the mitochondria through cellular respiration. This is converted in Acetyl CoA to start the Kreb's cycle and produce ATP

Answer 2. During electron transport system

Answer 3.

Answer 4..

During electron transport chain it is the oxygen that is broken down into H2O, not carbon. All the carbons are released during Acetyl CoA formation and Kreb's cycle.
