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 Complexes l-IV Intermembrane space 02 FADH2 FAD H20 NAD+ Matrix NADH Path of electrons Protons Figure 7.10b Biology: How Life Works, Second Edition © 2016 Macmillan Education
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.
