The inner mitochondrial membrane is damaged, and it becomes increasingly permeable to hydrogen ions. Which of the following statements IS NOT true. The H+ gradient stored in the matrix created by the electron transport chain dissipates when H+ ions diffuse into the inner mitochondrial membrane space. Complex I, II, III and IV are still able to pump H+ into the inner mitochondrial membrane space due to the oxidation of NADH and FADH2. The H+ ions pumped into the inner mitochondrial membrane space are not efficiently used by ATP synthase to generate ATP. As a result, the production of ATP for every molecule of pyruvate that enters the mitochondrion is reduced.

The image shows the flow of electrons through electron carriers I, II, III, and IV within the mitochondrial inner membrane. The electronegativity of the protein carriers determines their capacity to attract electrons. Based on the image, which of the following best describes the electronegativity of the carriers and the synthesis and utilization of ATP during the electron-transfer process? Electron carrier I is the least electronegative, and electron carrier IV is the most electronegative. ATP is required for electron transfer between carriers. Electron carrier I is the most electronegative, and electron carrier IV is the least electronegative. ATP is not required for electron transfer between carriers. Electron carrier I is the most electronegative, and electron carrier IV is the least electronegative. ATP is utilized in a distinct reaction, not directly coupled with electron transfer. Electron carrier I is the least electronegative, and electron carrier IV is the most…

Which compartment of the eukaryotic mitochondrion is responsible for the formation of NADH, and FADH2, during catabolism of pyruvate into carbon dioxide? the mitochondrial matrix the outer mitochondrial membrane the intermembrane space the inner mitochondrial membrane the thylakoid membrane The complete catabolism of glucose into CO2 and H2O generally yields a smaller amount of ATP in aerobic eukaryotes than in aerobic prokaryotes because the aerobic eukaryotes: generate more molecules of FADH2 during aerobic respiration have transport costs to get NADH into the mitochondrion generate more molecules of NADH during aerobic respiration are able to use pyruvate as a substrate for fermentation always produce ethanol rather than lactic acid as a byproduct
An important function of the inner mitochondrial membrane is to provide a selectively permeable barrier to the movement of water soluble molecules and thus to generate different chemical environments on either side of the mem- brane. However, many of the substrates and products of oxidative phosphorylation are water soluble and must cross the inner membrane. How does this transport occur?

The reduction of NADH in the mitochondrial matrix results in the transfer of 2 electrons to the electron transport chain. D. The oxidation of NADH in the cytoplasm results in the transfer of 1 electron to the electron transport chain. E. The oxidation of NADH in the mitochondrial matrix results in the transfer of 2 electrons to the electron transport chain.
Which of the following statements is true? A. The NADH dehydrogenase complex can pump more protons than can the cytochrome b-c1 complex. B.
