Question
Chapter 4.2, Problem 3MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The protein that is oxidized and the protein that is reduced with reference to figure 4.6 “Electron Transport Chain,” given in the textbook and also explain the reason for the same.
Concept introduction:
Oxidation is a process in which a substance or an ionic species looses electron or there is an addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen. Reduction is a process in which a substance or an ionic species gains electron and in which oxygen is removed or the hydrogen is added.

O2 is serving as the terminal electron acceptor in this diagram; is it being oxidized, or reduced?
First find and label ATP Synthase on the diagram below. Make boxes and add the labels for
ATP, ADP, and Pi. Use an arrow indicating ATP being made by the right part of the synthase.
This diagram also shows the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Work with your team to add the
following labels

Describe the role of each of the membrane proteins shown in the picture below. Think about what is happening to the electrons and describe how energy is transformed as electrons move along the chain. Part of this involves the formation of the proton gradient. The other part is the explanation of the energetics of electron transport that you investigated above. In other words, the reason that electrons always flow from complex I to complex III to complex IV to oxygen.

- Referring to the diagram above, where does pathway "A" occur? Where does pathway "B" occur? Remember to include BOTH prokaryotes and eukaryotes in your answer.arrow_forwardElectrons are continuously transferred from higher-energy carriers to lower-energy carriers in the electron transport chain, yet somehow iron is utilized as an electron carrier multiple times. Choose the most likely reason why this is possible. The pH of complex II is slightly higher than the pH of complex III. The reduction potential of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) in complex I is higher than the reduction potential of iron. The redox potential of iron ions can be manipulated by their environment. For instance, the iron in an iron-sulfur cluster will have a different redox potential than the iron in a heme group. The electrons carried by NADH are higher energy than the electrons carried by FADH2.arrow_forwardEnergy is required to reverse the flow of the electron transport chain. Why would this be so?arrow_forward
