Question
Chapter 9, Problem 4TYU
Summary Introduction
Introduction: When electrons are driven down the electron transport chain, NADH and FADH2 are oxidized and releases energy. This is called as exergonic redox reactions.

Which effects the increased levels of hydrogen ions in the inter-membrane space of
the mitochondria?
a) Decreased levels of chemiosmosis
b) Increased levels of water in inter-membrane space
c) Increase ATP production
d) Decreased levels of oxidative phosphorylation
As protons (H+) pass through the mitochondria inner membrane…
Question 10 options:
a)
Protons follow their concentration gradient.
b)
All the potential energy contained in the proton gradient is converted into ATP.
c)
Some of the potential energy contained in the proton gradient is converted into ATP and some is released as heat (i.e., unusable energy).
d)
Protons go up in potential energy level and ∆G > 0.
e)
A and C
Why are electron carriers (NAD+/NADH and FAD/FADH2) so important in the process of cellular respiration?
A)NADH and FADH2 are major components of the ETC, so without them, there would be no ETC in the cell.
B)They deliver electrons to the ETC, which in turn sets up chemiosmosis, where most of the ATP is generated.
C)They separate the electrons from the protons so that the protons can be moved out of the mitochondrion.
D)The electrons that they carry are able to directly phosphorylate ADP in order to generate the bulk of ATP in the cell.
E) They transport protons across the mitochondrial membrane.
