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 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 irons 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 nontransmembrane proteins, of the electron transport system in the mitochondria (i.e. what do they do that is different)?

Explanation / Answer

In aerobic condition, the high energy input to the mitochondria is NADH, which will convert into ATP.

Donation of electrons to NADH dehydrogenase; b-c1 complex passes the electron to the cytochrome c; cytochrome c passes the electrons to the cytochrome oxidase complex.

Redox reaction, in which electrons are transferred from a donor molecules to an acceptor molecules; Pumping of proteins.

2 carbons
