AP Bio - Respiration

Front

What is the location of the Electron Transport Chain (ETC) in mitochondria?

Back

The Electron Transport Chain occurs across the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Front

What are the folds in the inner mitochondrial membrane called that increase the surface area for the ETC?

Back

The folds are called cristae.

Front

What happens to a substance that loses an electron?

Back

It has been oxidized.

Front

Which process is responsible for the production of ATP in mitochondria?

Back

Oxidative phosphorylation.

Front

How many ATP molecules can one NADH molecule produce at the ETC?

Back

A maximum of 3 ATP molecules.

Front

What enzyme in the ETC is responsible for generating ATP?

Back

ATP synthase.

Front

Define oxidative phosphorylation.

Back

A process that uses the energy from the electron transport chain to produce ATP.

Front

What is the role of NADH in cellular respiration?

Back

NADH carries electrons to the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the main purpose of the Krebs cycle?

Back

To produce electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) for the ETC.

Front

What is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain?

Back

Oxygen.
