Questão
What is the chemiosmotic coupling hypothesis?
Responda
-
The energy from electron transport drives the efflux of hydrogen ions from the matrix into the intermembrane space. This establishes a proton electrochemical gradient. ATP synthesis is driven by ATP synthase using this proton gradient (proton motor force).

Questão
How does ATP synthase generate ATP?
Responda
-
It allows the proton gradient, established from the energy generated by the electron transport chain, to pass through the membrane and uses this kinetic energy to phosphorylate ADP into ATP.

Questão 47
Questão
ATP is produced during the krebs cycle.
Questão 48
Questão
How many molecules of NADH are produced during the krebs cycle?
Questão 49
Questão
Why can the krebs cycle not occur without O2?
Responda
-
Although the TCA/krebs cycle does not need O2 directly, regeneration of NAD+ and FAD depend upon O2 as a terminal electron acceptor at the end of the ETC. Without O2 as the terminal electron acceptor, the ETC cannot proceed as electrons are not being terminally accepted and thus FADH2 and NADH cannot reduce the ETC carriers as electrons are not passing through the system. Without NAD+ and FAD available, conversion of certain intermediates cannot occur in the TCA cycle but more importantly Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate cannot be converted to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate.
